"Cogitations" Range / Collection Love A very versatile “wallet-purse” hybrid with gussets. Resilience, longevity, and love, themes embodied by the Ginkgo Biloba. Ideal for Valentine's Day, and more.

Its story

A very useful small bag model that allows you to carry your keys, phone, and/or documents without being encumbered. This “wallet-purse” hybrid with gussets is very versatile, thanks to its two versions (this one being the “light”), and it's interesting to sew. The decorative pocket at the back is directly taken from the coat, for more history.
Soft colors and materials, to accompany you in style during high-powered meetings or shopping trips.

“Mille Toffees” is a collection created especially for the exhibition at the artistic space of CIEL (at Sivalor), focused on the upcycling of what is often considered “waste.”
Remaining true to my creative approach inspired by textile upcycling and the sublimation of memories, I crafted this “Mille Toffees” collection from a thrifted goat leather trench coat that seemed to have lived a beautiful life and deserved a second one. I paired it with cotton fabric scraps entrusted by a client for her custom order.

This collection speaks of resilience, longevity, and love, themes embodied by the Ginkgo Biloba.
Ideal for Valentine's Day, and more. Its soft and warm tones, variety of shapes, will elegantly accompany you in your daily life.

Pair it with any other in this collection.

Also see the other “light” versions: “Oiseau Marguerite” and “Moineau” ; and the “full” version: “Jungle”.

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 MontsĂŠgur, Loire), rather than in a pouch.

"I love it, but I’m afraid it won’t be easy to wear"

A bold piece often becomes your signature.
It pairs beautifully with a simple outfit and naturally draws compliments.

I can also share styling ideas if you’d like.

"Will this style really suit me?"

If a piece draws you in, it already resonates with you.
We are never one-dimensional: it might reveal a side of your personality still waiting to shine.

Can I change my delivery address?

It is sometimes possible to change a delivery address as long as the order has not been shipped. 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, it is no longer possible to make changes. In that case, you will need to contact the selected carrier as soon as possible (but with no guarantee of results).

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.
