"Cogitations" Range / Collection Love Glamour and sophistication call you to a romantic rendezvous with yourself. A true favorite for this practical and elegant wallet design.

Its story

Ay, ay, ay, caramba! Passion red, captivating red, a red that awakens and comforts... two exceptional lamb leathers blend seamlessly with silk, creating a sensory experience that truly resonates.

I fell head over heels for this practical wallet design, named “City Life,” whether in its regular or mini version, so much so that I’ve made several copies—including one for myself, which is rare.

Pair it with the “Kisses of Paris” Shoulder Bag, featuring the same elegant curve.

Looking for something larger? Check out these versions: “Arc-en-ciel dans l'Ombre”, “L'heure du Thé (Noir)”, “Mille Toffees”, “D'Or et de Charbon”, “Art Déco Sylvestre”, “Art Déco Gris”, “Belle en Jean”, “Joyaux Aviaires”, “Prism Paon”, “Traces”, “Spectre”, “Martin Pêcheur”.

Common questions

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.

Do you ship internationally?

I ship worldwide. If your country is not listed, please contact me at hello@marie-alhomme.com or by phone at +33(0)661356222. With your complete details, I will provide you with a final invoice that you can then pay by bank transfer or credit card.

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.

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) or with Alma (you’ll need to contact me first so that I can provide you with a dedicated link): both are offered 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.

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.
