“Static Flowers” N° 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!

Common questions

What are the payment methods and conditions?

Payment can be made in several ways:

  • Right away on the website, by credit card or PayPal: your order will be shipped immediately ;
  • In 4 installments with PayPal (on the website, subject to acceptance by PayPal): at no additional cost to you, and your order will be shipped immediately ;
  • Deferred payment by bank transfer (with direct contact according to your preferences): your order will only be shipped upon receipt of the full payment.
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 MontsĂŠgur, Loire), rather than in a pouch.

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.

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.
