Its story

Alice in the Land of Contrasts! A traditionally masculine shape sewn in subtle shades, elevated by multicolored glitter that comes to life as soon as the sun shines.
Shining brightly with subtlety, it's possible...

Fairy tales are an endless source of inspiration. Mokosh is one of my favorite brands for woven wraps, not only for the quality of the fibers used but also for the level of detail in the patterns, and in this regard, “Alice in Wonderland” surpasses the interpretation by other brands.

This is the second time I've explored this very chic fabric with its subtle shades and silver glitter, and I immediately wanted to pair it with a scrap of black rainbow glitter canvas for a piece that's both chic and bold.

I've long wanted to play with this versatile bag that can be worn across the back and front. I searched to find the perfect design that combines clean lines and practicality. Its ability to feature a figurative panel convinced me. I also like its compact yet deep volume, numerous interior and exterior pockets, and a zipper closure that protects the main compartment.

A playful and chic bag with a clever and versatile format.

Pair it with the cute (Mini) Pouch “Ra-ta-tam” to match.

Common questions

What do you do with your production offcuts?

Your own bespoke fabric offcuts aren't covered here: they're always sent back to you with your finished piece, unless you tell me to keep them or dispose of them differently.

As for my own production offcuts: nothing is thrown away if I can help it. They're reused in my workshop for reinforcement, worked into mosaics to create larger pieces, or used as is for small creations (keychains, bookmarks...). The rest is given away depending on its nature and size: to other artisans (such as jewellery makers), or to associations, community centres and schools for their workshops.

"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.

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.

Do you ship internationally?

I ship worldwide. If your country is not listed, 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.

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.
