ā€œSalamandreā€ N° CO-075

A shoulder bag made from blood red and emerald green babywearing wrap with a thistle pattern, red gabardine, emerald green linen, and synthetic material.

"Intuitions" Range / Theme Nature A piece that doesn't go unnoticed! It plays with a dynamic of contrasts, both in color and texture. Chromatically, it contrasts blood red, evoking passion, energy, and strength, with emerald green, reminiscent of nature, growth, and harmony. Texture-wise, it contrasts the soft and finely woven jacquard wrap with raw linen on one side, and plush gabardine and smooth synthetic material on the other. With these dualities, the floral motif at the heart of this piece, typically old-fashioned, becomes resolutely modern.

Its story

A piece that doesn't go unnoticed! It plays with a dynamic of contrasts, both in color and texture. Chromatically, it contrasts blood red, evoking passion, energy, and strength, with emerald green, reminiscent of nature, growth, and harmony. Texture-wise, it contrasts the soft and finely woven jacquard wrap with raw linen on one side, and plush gabardine and smooth synthetic material on the other.
With these dualities, the floral motif at the heart of this piece, typically old-fashioned, becomes resolutely modern.

This babywearing wrap is very soft and plush, a true visual and sensory crush acquired on a whim. It is accompanied by a matching gabardine with a velvety texture, rich-textured linen canvas, and an upcycled synthetic material remnant to provide strength to the base of the bag.

I have a special affection for this bag model, with its proportions and lines immediately captivating me to the point that I made several versions, which rarely happens.
This is the last one still available for pure creation. From now on, I will only make this model as a custom-made commission.

It is possible to pair it with the matching ā€œEn Villeā€ Mini Zip Card and Coin Wallet.

Common questions

Are your products authentic?

All my creations are numbered and come with an identity card that includes the type, model, version, number, detailed materials list, and care instructions.
I'd been working on a blockchain-based authenticity certificate, but I finally decided against it (for a host of reasons I might write an article about someday).

"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.

Where do the fabrics and leathers used in Studio CrƩatif 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 CrƩatif creation.

Outside of these particular cases, Studio CrƩatif 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 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.
