Its story

Embrace color with sobriety with this model in rainbow and night colors. Two-tone/two-material handles, luxury rainbow-colored hardware, velvety upcycled synthetic leather, and a playful babywearing fabric coupon with a whimsical pattern.

When I was a child, my grandma had a subscription to the Reader's Digest and I loved the concept of guided discovery every month. So when I found an equivalent for patterns, the “Bag of the Month Club”, I was excited to embark on this adventure.

There, I discovered patterns that sometimes inspired me, such as this “Silhouette” model.

Following the same “Bag of the Month” concept, discover the “Zola en Inde” handbag, the “Chat Alors !” mini Sling Bag, all the “Nostalgie” shoulder bags, a model only now available on full custom order, the “Ar(gen)t Déco” wallet or even the full custom Wallet I made for Marion.

Common questions

“Will this style really suit me?”

If a piece draws you in, it already resonates with you.
We are never one-dimensional: it might reveal a side of your personality still waiting to shine.

Can I change my delivery address?

It is sometimes possible to change a delivery address as long as the order has not been shipped. To do so, please contact me as soon as possible via hello@maroquinerie-sentimentale.fr or by phone at +33(0)661356222.

Once your order has been shipped, it is no longer possible to make changes. In that case, you will need to contact the selected carrier as soon as possible (but with no guarantee of results).

Where do the fabrics and leathers used in Studio Créatif pieces come from?

As a rule, these are never the fabrics you entrust to me for a bespoke piece: those remain yours alone. The only exception: sometimes a client explicitly gives me her offcuts and asks me to find them a new life elsewhere. In that specific case, and only with her agreement, they may end up in a Studio Créatif creation.

Outside of these particular cases, Studio Créatif pieces come from my own research: rescued leathers, fabrics found at flea markets or second-hand, dormant stocks from luxury houses, offcuts from high-end leather goods... I choose and combine them following my inspiration of the moment, with no specific order behind them.

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?

Discover the bespoke service: from the idea in your head to the piece in your hands, made from your sentimental fabrics, shaped around your wishes, needs, budget, and timeline.

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.
