"Intuitions" Range / Theme Nature Absolutely retro and therefore incredibly “trendy”, this Mary Poppins bag skillfully combines modern materials with simple and nostalgic lines while adding a touch of light to this gloomy autumn.

Its story

This Mary Poppins-style bag, with its metal frames, is absolutely retro and therefore incredibly “trendy”. It's from a pattern test for which I was also the official translator.

I made two versions, and this one is the large size, giving me the opportunity to use this upcycled synthetic leather with the sunny yellow Python pattern I impulsively acquired.
It bravely combines the modernity of materials with the simple and retro lines of the bag while bringing a bit of sunshine to this gray autumn.

Prefer the small version of “Supercalifragili”?

Near Perfect?

Like most test samples of a pattern, this bag has very minor flaws (a slightly visible thread of a different color on the inside edges, two tiny snags (repaired) at the bottom, hidden by the false bottom, see the last photo), so it is offered at a slightly reduced price (292€ instead of 365€).

Charlotte’s baby wrap

After ordering a bag from stock, Charlotte realized it would be too small. I offered to make her a custom, larger version, and she sent me her baby wrap to transform.

Common questions

What is the protective pouch included with the bags?

Every bag I create comes with a bespoke protective pouch, made by hand in my studio.

This isn't throwaway packaging — it's a permanent accessory, meant to be used every day to store your bag when you're not using it, protect it from scratches and dust, or keep it safe when travelling.

It's made in organic cotton satin, sewn to the exact dimensions of your piece, with an organic cotton drawstring to close it. It's branded Marie Alhomme.

For wallets, coin purses, and smaller accessories, I wrap the piece in tissue paper produced locally and sustainably (Papeteries de Montségur, Loire), rather than in a pouch.

Can I change my delivery address?

It is sometimes possible to change a delivery address as long as the order has not been shipped. To do so, please contact me as soon as possible via hello@marie-alhomme.com or by phone at +33(0)661356222.

Once your order has been shipped, it is no longer possible to make changes. In that case, you will need to contact the selected carrier as soon as possible (but with no guarantee of results).

What's the difference between the 'Cogitations' and 'Intuitions' ranges?

These two ranges reflect two different creative intentions, but share the same level of care and craftsmanship.

Cogitations: these pieces carry something. They illustrate a reflection, stand for an idea, can spark a conversation. Feminism, heritage, ecology, identity... When you wear a Cogitations piece, you're making a statement — sometimes subtly, sometimes very clearly.

Intuitions: these pieces exist for pure pleasure. A colour that vibrates, a texture that draws you in, a graphic tension that knows how to stay elegant. No declared message — just the feeling. Guaranteed to give you a little thrill.

In both cases, I only create what I feel a genuine need to bring into the world. Not to please everyone: to speak to someone. Maybe you.

Can I place an order by phone?

You can contact me by phone at +33(0)661356222, and I will provide you with a final invoice that you can then pay by bank transfer or credit card.
