Its story

Enchanting colors, a visually and tactilely rich texture... a piece that combines refinement with rusticity.

It's made from sentimental fabric: a babywearing wrap that has been much loved (and which also served me to make a pair of slippers that I wear almost every day for the past 2 years).

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.

Also discover those versions: “L'heure du Thé (Noir)”, “Mille Toffees”, “D'Or et de Charbon”, “Art Déco Sylvestre”, “Art Déco Gris”, “Belle en Jean”, “Joyaux Aviaires”, “Traces”, “Arc-en-ciel dans l'Ombre”, “Spectre”, “Martin Pêcheur”.

Looking for smaller? Check out these versions: “Art Déco Ensoleillé”, “Red Obsession”, “Broderie Suédoise”, “Crépuscule Estival”, “Exoplanet”, “Pointillés Masculin Féminin”, “Pré Fleuri”, “Salamandre”, “Vanille Melba”.

Near Perfect?

Reduced price (original price 326€) because it's the first model: it's slightly smaller than planned (by 1cm), the multicolored interior is less elegant than a solid color, and the finishing is slightly less refined than on later models.

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.

How do you ship?

Delivery of your order is an essential part of my customer service. I strive to provide you with a reliable, fast, and convenient delivery experience, so you can quickly enjoy your purchases.

Once your order is placed, I ensure that your items are carefully packaged and prepared for shipping. I choose the most suitable packaging options to protect your products during transportation.
My pieces are thoughtfully wrapped and shipped in upcycled cardboard boxes (read more).

Each bag is protected by its custom-made satin drawstring pouch, made from 100% organic cotton satin or 100% linen fabric, and closed with a 100% organic cotton cord, that I custom-make specifically for each bag.
Wallets and other small items are wrapped in tissue paper, either new (locally and sustainably produced) or recycled depending on their size.

I offer free shipping to France. For all other destinations, I aim to maintain competitive and transparent shipping costs. Shipping fees are calculated based on the weight, size of your package, and the destination to provide you with the fairest pricing possible.

Whether it's standard, express, or international delivery, I work with reliable carriers (Colissimo or Mondial Relay) to ensure the delivery of your package within the estimated timeframes, with tracking and insurance. If you wish to use other shipping providers like FedEx or UPS, please contact me at hello@marie-alhomme.com or by phone at +33(0)661356222 so I can calculate a cost estimate for you.

Do I need to register to make purchases on the online store?

It's not necessary to have an account to place an order on this website.

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.

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.
