“De Nîmes et de Grasse”  CO-127

A fanny pack made from babywearing fabric in gray, white, and blue tones with a floral and geometric pattern and gray denim.

"Intuitions" Range / Theme Geometry The rigor of geometric shapes and the exuberance of flowers blend in this piece that aims to break free from the 'kitsch' label of the iconic fanny pack.

Its story

I wanted to demonstrate that the iconic fanny pack, now renamed the “hip bag”, has broken free from its “kitsch” image. I reinvented it in a very “casual chic” version with its mix of high-end denim and babywearing fabric featuring the combination of geometric shapes' rigor and the exuberance of flowers.

Clean lines, a compact yet practical size, and high-quality fabrics... all the ingredients for a beautiful and useful everyday accessory.

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.

My package is lost/I haven't received my order… what should I do?

Contact me as soon as possible via hello@marie-alhomme.com or by phone at +33(0)661356222.

Why are there "Near-Perfect" items and what are they?

As part of my sustainable view of the modern luxury fashion, creating as little waste as possible is central. You can learn more about this on my Soulful Values page.

How do you ship?

Delivery of your order is an essential part of my customer service. I strive to provide you with a reliable, fast, and convenient delivery experience, so you can quickly enjoy your purchases.

Once your order is placed, I ensure that your items are carefully packaged and prepared for shipping. I choose the most suitable packaging options to protect your products during transportation.
My pieces are thoughtfully wrapped and shipped in upcycled cardboard boxes (read more).

Each bag is protected by its custom-made satin drawstring pouch, made from 100% organic cotton satin or 100% linen fabric, and closed with a 100% organic cotton cord, that I custom-make specifically for each bag.
Wallets and other small items are wrapped in tissue paper, either new (locally and sustainably produced) or recycled depending on their size.

I offer free shipping to France. For all other destinations, I aim to maintain competitive and transparent shipping costs. Shipping fees are calculated based on the weight, size of your package, and the destination to provide you with the fairest pricing possible.

Whether it's standard, express, or international delivery, I work with reliable carriers (Colissimo or Mondial Relay) to ensure the delivery of your package within the estimated timeframes, with tracking and insurance. If you wish to use other shipping providers like FedEx or UPS, please contact me at hello@marie-alhomme.com or by phone at +33(0)661356222 so I can calculate a cost estimate for you.

Where do the fabrics and leathers used in Studio Créatif pieces come from?

As a rule, these are never the fabrics you entrust to me for a bespoke piece: those remain yours alone. The only exception: sometimes a client explicitly gives me her offcuts and asks me to find them a new life elsewhere. In that specific case, and only with her agreement, they may end up in a Studio Créatif creation.

Outside of these particular cases, Studio Créatif pieces come from my own research: rescued leathers, fabrics found at flea markets or second-hand, dormant stocks from luxury houses, offcuts from high-end leather goods... I choose and combine them following my inspiration of the moment, with no specific order behind them.
