“Alchimie” N° CO-102

A shoulder bag made up of a patchwork of different materials: royal blue faux leather, golden faux leather, shiny bronze fabric, and blue and bronze wrap fabric with a pattern of small droplets.

"Intuitions" Range / Theme Geometry Mosaic is the result of a collective “mystery sewing”, a different and exciting challenge. “Alchimie” an alliance of magnificent midnight blue and the vibrant colors of autumn, has emerged from my workshop to brighten your days and evenings.

Its story

Mosaïque is the result of a collective “mystery sewing”, a different and exciting challenge. When I started, I didn't know what the final result would look like, as the pattern pieces and assembly steps were revealed to us bit by bit every 5 days.

Choosing fabrics for this creation was a challenge. I made several selections of fabric combinations that “spoke” to me, and, although I already had a little idea without wanting to admit it, I put the choice to a vote on my social media profiles.
The result confirmed my inspiration, and “Alchimie”, an alliance of magnificent midnight blue and the vibrant colors of autumn, has emerged from my workshop to brighten your days and evenings.

Pair it with the Mini Coin Purse “Zip Zip”.

Is it possible to order a custom piece?

In addition to the original creations offered on the website and created on inspiration, I offer an on-demand solution to create pieces that match your emotions, designs that reflect you. To achieve this, I've created the Bespoke Service.

Through this service, I offer to create a piece that reflects you, using your sentimental fabrics, fabrics from my stock, or even fabrics I find specifically for you. My creativity and expertise, combined with your imagination, have no limits.

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.

I have more questions

This is all lovely,
but do you want something that's just yours?

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.
