"Intuitions" Range / Theme Nature This piece is both very elegant and modern with its winter colors. A small card and coin holder that focuses on the essentials.

Its story

This piece is both very elegant and modern with its winter colors and materials that are both noble and innovative.

The body is partly made of “Krafttex”, an eco-friendly washable paper. Composed of cellulose, water, and latex, it has a leather-like appearance but stiffer and it patinas and softens over time. It's an interesting material that can be washed, ironed, painted, dyed, sewn, embroidered... and one that I enjoyed incorporating into several pieces after discovering it as an Interfacing in my favorite wallet model (the “En Ville”).
The other part is made from a scrap of the babywearing wrap used to create the matching “Nostalgie” shoulder bag, a small scrap that I initially fell in love with for its blend of elegance and naturalness, combining high-quality fibers and a stylized honeycomb and bee pattern.

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

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.

How can I track my order?
You will receive an email upon shipment containing the tracking number and a link. Of course, you can contact me at any time if you have questions.
What are the delivery timeframes?
All orders (excluding custom orders) are shipped within 24 hours (excl. week-ends). The delivery time then depends on the chosen shipping method (Mondial Relay or Colissimo) and the delivery location (France or abroad). Delays may occur due to reasons beyond my control (e.g., related to the carrier).
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.
