“Static Flowers”  CO-142

A backpack made with bright pink upholstery fabric, black leather, and wrap fabric with a floral pattern.

"Intuitions" Range / Theme Geometry A very rock & roll piece, with contrasting colors and materials. A small backpack with organic lines and efficient proportions.

Its story

An opposition between modernity and tradition is expressed in this highly contrasting piece with shapes reminiscent of Chinese dumplings. The pop of almost neon pink paired with black leather, the very smooth tactile texture of the materials contrasting with the visually blurred texture of the wrap fabric, geometric cutouts in contrast to the overall organic shape, the Asian floral motif hidden behind lines that resemble TV screens lacking a signal... everything dissonates and yet everything resonates. Balance in oxymoron.

I received this fabric from a regular customer, and it remained silent for a long time. One day, the touches of neon pink discerned in the stroboscopic pattern called for an alliance with this piece of upholstery fabric that was waiting patiently for its turn. The last scraps of a high-fashion lambskin leather skirt balanced this duo.

This backpack model is a chimera, the result of an unexpected blend between two patterns I had set aside. The shape and proportions of a shoulder bag, the attachments, and the closure of a backpack.
It is slightly deeper and wider than a classic backpack and is equipped with magnetic buttons on the sides to make it more compact while facilitating access to its central space.
It has a comfortable handle and adjustable straps for easy and comfortable carrying, and its flap provides good coverage to protect its contents.

The best of both worlds!

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

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 do you do with your production offcuts?

Your own bespoke fabric offcuts aren't covered here: they're always sent back to you with your finished piece, unless you tell me to keep them or dispose of them differently.

As for my own production offcuts: nothing is thrown away if I can help it. They're reused in my workshop for reinforcement, worked into mosaics to create larger pieces, or used as is for small creations (keychains, bookmarks...). The rest is given away depending on its nature and size: to other artisans (such as jewellery makers), or to associations, community centres and schools for their workshops.

"I’m afraid someone else will buy it while I’m hesitating"
Each piece is unique.
I can send more photos or offer a short reservation option to give you time to decide.
"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.
