"Intuitions" Range / Theme Geometry A bright and intricate piece that symbolizes femininity: fresh, joyful, chic, sophisticated, and strong. A true favorite for this practical and elegant wallet model.

Its story

A bright and intricate piece that symbolizes the duality of femininity.
On one side, close nurturing through babywearing with a wrap, represented by the fabric that envelops the wallet's body. On the other, the often imposed societal need to return to professional life, portrayed by the highly functional design of this wallet with numerous compartments.

I had a real crush on this practical wallet model, named “En Ville”, whether in this Mini version or its regular version, to the point that I made several, including one for myself, which rarely happens.

The result is both fresh, joyful, chic, sophisticated, and strong... just like women.

Pairs perfectly with the “Port'Émoi” Shoulder Bag.

Near Perfect?

Heavily reduced price (normally €313) because it's not perfect: a small glue mark on the lining, corners slightly more irregular than I would have liked.

Common questions

Where do the fabrics and leathers used in Studio Créatif pieces come from?

As a rule, these are never the fabrics you entrust to me for a bespoke piece: those remain yours alone. The only exception: sometimes a client explicitly gives me her offcuts and asks me to find them a new life elsewhere. In that specific case, and only with her agreement, they may end up in a Studio Créatif creation.

Outside of these particular cases, Studio Créatif pieces come from my own research: rescued leathers, fabrics found at flea markets or second-hand, dormant stocks from luxury houses, offcuts from high-end leather goods... I choose and combine them following my inspiration of the moment, with no specific order behind them.

Can I modify or cancel my order?

It's possible to modify or cancel an order within 6 hours of purchase. 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, I cannot cancel it. In that case, you will need to wait to receive it then withdraw within 14 days of delivery and send it back at your own expense. I will then refund you according to the terms outlined in the Terms and Conditions.

What are the delivery timeframes?

All orders (excluding custom orders) are shipped within 24 hours (excl. weekends and public holidays), carefully packed and tracked.

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).

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.
