Its story

Summer followed spring! A fun and elegant piece that combines pop energy with softness, and is an ode to renewal. An original and versatile frame backpack.

I stumbled upon this fabric by chance while thrifting for pants for my youngest son (we are second-hand enthusiasts). Digging through a pile, I discovered this huge coupon of synthetic fabric (probably curtain fabric) with a pattern and colors that drew me in despite myself. I grabbed it, and fate revealed itself when at my next stop, I found four exhibition coupons of synthetic leather in perfectly harmonized shades (cream, pink, orange, and apricot)...
I had my color scheme, and I immediately envisioned creating a mini-collection around this fabric. Its name eluded me for a long time until I asked you, my “fans” (a lofty word) on social media, and when the word “Éclosion” was suggested, I immediately knew it was the right one.

This backpack pattern has been in my stack for almost 2 years because of its elegant and innovative shape, as well as its ability to be worn in 3 different ways.
You can't help but love the numerous pockets, the large opening and capacity, the clever carrying system that allows for three different and comfortable modes, the stylish side fastenings, and the simultaneously clean and modern lines.

Also, see the other two bags in the mini “Éclosion” Collection: the handbag and the hybrid bag.

Near Perfect?

Reduced price (normally 522€) due to a small error on the front patch pocket: the bottom is not sewn. It is invisible and does not prevent its use; it simply does not meet the level of finishing I usually offer.

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

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.

Do you ship internationally?
I ship worldwide. If your country is not listed, please contact me at hello@marie-alhomme.com or by phone at +33(0)661356222. With your complete details, I will provide you with a final invoice that you can then pay by bank transfer or credit card.
How long does it take for a custom piece?
The time it takes will greatly depend on the complexity of your request, the availability of components, and my schedule, which varies depending on the time of year. On average, expect between 4 and 10 weeks. The quote I provide will contain an accurate estimate of the timeline, and I commit to responding as accurately as possible to your requests, while respecting the creative and production process.
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.
