Its story

This piece is intended to evoke innocence and freedom with its soft colors highlighted by its avian motif and velvety textures.

I fell in love with this ultra-soft baby blanket in terms of touch, motif, and colors. I quickly knew that these scraps of this beautiful lamb leather with a satin texture, from Haute Couture, would be its perfect companion. I then looked for a pattern that could do justice to this duo.

When the opportunity for a new collective “mystery sewing”, a different and exciting challenge, presented itself (after that of the Shoulder Bag “Mosaïque - Alchimie”), I knew it would be the answer.
Starting, I didn't know what the final result would look like, as the pattern pieces and assembly steps were revealed to us bit by bit every 5 days. But I knew the result would be worthy of these materials.

That's how “Perruches” was born, a chic and functional bag that brings a touch of tenderness and lightness to a busy day.

Common questions

Is it possible to order a custom piece?

In addition to the original creations offered on the website and created on inspiration, I offer an on-demand solution to create pieces that match your emotions, designs that reflect you. To achieve this, I've created the Bespoke Service.

Through this service, I offer to create a piece that reflects you, using your sentimental fabrics, fabrics from my stock, or even fabrics I find specifically for you. My creativity and expertise, combined with your imagination, have no limits.

  1. Shoot me an e-mail or use the appointment request form to book a visio call, during which we will discuss all the parameters of your project.
  2. I will then work on a detailed personalized offer for the entire process, and send you a quote.
  3. Once the quote is accepted, you pay for your creation in three bank transfers: a 40% deposit when you approve the quote, 30% when production starts, and the remaining 30% right before shipping. If you change your mind, you can cancel by forfeiting the deposit (full details in the Terms and Conditions).
  4. I'll then start working my magic to craft your very own custom creation. Depending on your wishes, I will update you with pics and videos through the whole process... or keep the secret until you open your package!
  5. Finally, it's time for me to ship your tracked and insured package, and for you to eagerly stalk it until you can at long last marvel at unboxing it :)

Contact me as soon as possible via hello@maroquinerie-sentimentale.fr or by phone at +33(0)661356222.

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.

What are the delivery timeframes?

All orders (excluding custom orders) are shipped within 24 hours (excl. weekends and public holidays), carefully packed and tracked.

The delivery time then depends on the chosen shipping method (Mondial Relay or Colissimo) and the delivery location (France or abroad). Delays may occur due to reasons beyond my control (e.g., related to the carrier).

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.
