“Volutes Printanières”  CO-063

A wallet made from a hand-painted silk scarf and bubblegum pink poplin.

"Intuitions" Range / Theme Nature The “Volutes Printanières” create an atmosphere of wonder and renewal. An invitation to the rebirth of nature for this elegant and practical wallet.

Its story

An ode to rebirth, to remind us that even after the coldest winters, life always finds a way to be reborn and flourish. The soft colors of this piece suggest tender herbs and freshly blooming trees.

I painted this silk scarf in my younger years, and it regularly adorned my mother's neck for the following 30 years. Two years ago, she entrusted it to me to transform.
A bag, a pouch, and this wallet emerged from it and were put up for sale. I'm keeping the last remnants for a personal project that I haven't determined yet.

This wallet model seduced me with its elegant yet highly practical design. I've made a few of them, which is still relatively rare for me, but when I want to match a bag with an accessory, I find this one very relevant.

There are other versions in the shop as well.

Near Perfect?

Heavily reduced price (normally 306€) due to a few minor defects. Some are cosmetic and invisible when closed: the exterior reveals a cut mark, and the interior has a small pale red stain near the magnetic button (see the last two photos). The other is that the left card slots are slightly narrower than usual (but still fit cards as intended).

Common questions

Can I place an order by phone?

You can contact me by phone at +33(0)661356222, and I will provide you with a final invoice that you can then pay by bank transfer or credit card.

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.

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.
