"Cogitations" Range / Collection Imaginary The freshness of summer fruit colors, the lightness of wordplay, and the sophistication of faux leather. A spacious tote, practical and chic.

Its story

When I saw this set of 3 cushions with their clever, tender, and funny wordplay, I immediately knew I had to create a trio of bags, and the “Cabas” format would be the most suitable.
I even had the exact model in mind, which I had crafted several years ago, with its practical details that make a difference: magnetic flap closure, an exterior zip pocket, and an interior slip pocket.

I also wanted a dressed-up result, so using rescued leather (and upcycled faux leather for this version) for a contrast of colors and textures was a natural choice, along with golden hardware for a touch of chic.

A large “tote” bag to accompany you in all circumstances, whether professional or personal.

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).

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.

Can I modify or cancel my order?

It's possible to modify or cancel an order within 6 hours of purchase. 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, I cannot cancel it. In that case, you will need to wait to receive it and then return it within 14 days of delivery, at your own expense, and I will refund you according to the terms outlined in the Terms and Conditions.

"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.

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.
