Its story

Embrace color with sobriety with this model in rainbow and night colors. Two-tone/two-material handles, luxury rainbow-colored hardware, velvety upcycled synthetic leather, and a playful babywearing fabric coupon with a whimsical pattern.

When I was a child, my grandma had a subscription to the Reader's Digest and I loved the concept of guided discovery every month. So when I found an equivalent for patterns, the “Bag of the Month Club”, I was excited to embark on this adventure.

There, I discovered patterns that sometimes inspired me, such as this “Silhouette” model.

Following the same “Bag of the Month” concept, discover the “Zola en Inde” handbag, the “Chat Alors !” mini Sling Bag, all the “Nostalgie” shoulder bags, a model only now available on full custom order, the “Ar(gen)t DĂ©co” wallet or even the full custom Wallet I made for Marion.

Common questions

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).

"I like it, but I already have plenty of bags."

This one isn’t “just another bag”: it’s a true work of art with a soul and a story, not a simple accessory.

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 motorized 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.

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).

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.
