“Crépuscule Estival”  CO-098

A shoulder bag made from fabric in purples, purples, pinks... with droplet motifs, and upcycled black lamb leather.

"Intuitions" Range / Theme Geometry A piece particularly rich in emotions, thanks to the story of its materials. Its clean and geometric lines, proportions, and storage make this bag your daily ally.

Its story

This piece is particularly rich in emotions, thanks to the story of its materials: the leather comes from the last pieces of my 18-year-old jacket, the wrap was a true visual delight, and the satin comes from scraps of pirate swords made for my eldest's 5th birthday :)

A genuine crush for this bag model, named “Nostalgie”, to the point that I made several versions, which rarely happens. Its proportions and lines immediately won me over.
From now on, I will only make this model as a custom-made commission.

With this refined version, you can enjoy the double sensory pleasure of soft and supple lamb leather combined with a babywearing wrap with rich satin reflections, complemented by golden satin.

Pair it with the “En Ville” Mini Wallet with Zip.

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

Are payments secure?
Payment security is an absolute priority on my website. I understand the importance of trust in online transactions, which is why I make every effort to provide you with a secure and reliable payment environment.
Payment is secured by SnipCart, a reputable payment service provider, an expert in online transaction security. This partner uses advanced security protocols to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of payment data. I do not store your credit card details or other sensitive information on my system, adding an extra layer of protection.

If you have any concerns or additional questions regarding the security of payments on my site, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'm here to provide you with the necessary answers and ensure you have a stress-free online shopping experience.

Where/How are they made?
I make all my products in my workshop in the city of St Just St Rambert in the Loire department (42). I use several machines depending on needs: a professional sewing machine, an industrial sewing machine, a serger, a press (for eyelets, rivets, etc.), an iron press, and a manual skiver.

I carefully choose my technical supplies (interfacings, hardware, etc.) and some innovative materials (such as cotton-backed cork or silicon faux leather) from trusted suppliers.

My other fabrics and materials are mostly upcycled and come from renowned babywearing brands, dormant stocks from Haute-Couture/High-End houses (clothing and furnishings), scraps from High-End leather goods houses, as well as "seconds" from specialized boutiques (especially for faux leather) or from personal collections found at flea markets or on specialized second-hand websites.

Find out more about this on the Soulful Values page.

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.
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.
