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

How long does it take for a custom piece?

The time it takes will greatly depend on the complexity of your request, the availability of components, and my schedule, which varies depending on the time of year. On average, expect between 4 and 10 weeks. The quote I provide will contain an accurate estimate of the timeline, and I commit to responding as accurately as possible to your requests, while respecting the creative and production process.

Do you ship internationally?

I ship to France and outside the European Union. Other European Union countries are not served at the moment.
If your country is eligible but does not appear in the list, please contact me at hello@marie-alhomme.com or by phone at +33(0)661356222. With your complete details, I will provide you with a final invoice that you can then pay by bank transfer or credit card.

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.

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.
