Its story

A piece that breathes spring with its vibrant colors and a design combining botanical and animal elements.

I have this “Lady Bird” pattern in several variations, where both colors and textures change, and I have explored it in different pieces over time. This version seemed particularly suitable for the new season with its contrasting mix of bright pink, pure white, and sunny yellow.
The body of this pouch is made of “Pinatex”, a pineapple-based faux leather that aims to be a cleaner alternative to typical synthetics and one that I wanted to try out... but I didn't choose it for my workshop.
The lining uses the yellow color for a bright interior.

The original and clean lines of this model, along with its compact yet practical format, immediately appealed to me and even convinced me to create a version for my daily use with other materials that I hold dear.
I've since made a larger version.

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.

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.

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.
