“Martin Pêcheur”  CO-190

A zippered card and coin holder made with dark blue and petrol blue honeycomb patterned babywearing wrap fabric with bees.

"Intuitions" Range / Theme Nature The elegance of the subtle iridescence of the Kingfisher's plumage blends beautifully with the honeycomb patterns. A true favorite for this practical and stylish wallet design.

Its story

This wallet is an ode to the beauty of nature, with its blend of classic and shimmering colors, and a pattern inspired by the world of beekeeping. The chic touch comes from the rose gold-colored metal clasp.

Sling Studio is an English brand known for its high-quality baby wraps, which are often hard to come by. So, when a fan offered to sell me her fabric scraps, I jumped at the chance!
I loved finding thread that perfectly matched the color of the bees and continuing to use the last pieces of Haute Couture poplin I purchased three years ago.

I had a real crush on this practical wallet model, named “En Ville”, whether in its Mini version or its regular version, to the point that I made several copies, including for myself, which rarely happens.

Common questions

How can I track my order?

You will receive an email upon shipment containing the tracking number and a link. Of course, you can contact me at any time if you have questions.

"I’m afraid someone else will buy it while I’m hesitating"

Each piece is unique.
I can send more photos or offer a short reservation option to give you time to decide.

What materials do you use to make my pieces?

Your sentimental fabric or leather is always at the heart of the project. For the rest, here is what I use by default:

  • Exterior (beyond the fabric you provide): salvaged leather by default (cowhide, lambskin, goat, pig…); optionally: certified organic cotton canvas, cork on 100% cotton backing, Nisiar (grape marc “leather”)… No faux leather, ever.
  • Lining: 100% cotton poplin, cretonne or satin (organic where possible), 100% linen canvas, wool or wool-silk blend…
  • Interfacings (by design): certified organic cotton batting, Decovil Light or Heavy, Texon, Jeffitex…
  • Hardware: metal only — gold, antique gold, chrome, gunmetal, antique bronze, copper/rose gold, matte black, rainbow… Special colours available on request (extra cost and lead time).
  • Handles & straps: leather, canvas, your own fabric (if enough quantity), cork… in simple or bi-material styles. Or pre-made strap in 100% organic cotton or polycotton, plain or multicolour, per brief.
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.

I have more questions

This is all lovely,
but do you want something that's just yours?

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.
