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.

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.

"I like it, but I already have plenty of bags."

This one isn’t “just another bag”: it’s a true work of art with a soul and a story, not a simple accessory.

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.

"Will this style really suit me?"

If a piece draws you in, it already resonates with you.
We are never one-dimensional: it might reveal a side of your personality still waiting to shine.

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.
