"Cogitations" Range / Collection Feminities A playful yet stylish pouch, with its big bow adorning its streamlined shape. Not just a fashion statement but also a craftwork that showcases a meticulous blend of design elements and précise finishing touches.

Its story

Not too long ago, I attended a conference for women entrepreneurs, linked to an all-women business network I belong to, called “Bouge Ta Boîte”.
Numerous inspiring workshops later, when it came time to leave, we were gifted a “My Little Box”, a box filled with products from a partner brand, and mine (as there were different ones) was themed “Icons” and contained a neck scarf that inspired me right away.

I combined it with some very supple white fake leather I’d reclaimed from another maker and a light sage shiny poplin. Its playfulness and softness, along with the symbol it wanted to convey (that of a free, audacious woman) resonated with my aesthetics and I knew I would make some really cool pieces with it.
One of these is this Pouch with its big bow on the front. Flat but of a comfortable size, both stylish and fun, it can follow you all day in a bigger bag or all evening as a standalone hand clutch.
The other is the “Sérénade” Clutch Wallet.

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 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 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).

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.

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.
