Other options: The Roadster options 
As far as I am aware the front boot option is the only one f with wheels. I would agree with the previous poster that the fitted cases in the rear boot are not so valuable.
A much cheaper option are CabinZero bags for the front boot.
Finally the cheapest (zero cost!) option is to use the pouch which contains the user manual on the bulkhead. Take out the manual and it will fit travel documents , sunglasses, phone, face mask etc.

A good and similar alternative to Cabin Zero is Eastpak Tranzpack 42L - also can be hand carried or carried on your back via the rugsack straps.
Roasterbag will also customize their bags (to a degree) and you can have their frunk luggage case without the wheels and trolley frame. It'll cost extra of course. I seriously considered this route but I really wanted luggage which had 2 main compartments and some minor zipped spaces which are handy when travelling. Roadster bag couldn't customise to this degree.
The other option which has been mentioned before and where customisation is possible is Bagworld. They have made several cases for the A110 and feedback is positive: https://bag-world.co/portfolio-item/surman_bespoke...
However, in the end, and out of necessity - as our 3 week road trip was looming and I needed to find a solution fast - I plumbed for Cabin Max and the Oxford case model. They work brilliantly and look good too. Quite durable too considering their price, and very presentable. Two of them in the frunk fills the whole space to the max. We are very happy to have chosen these to be honest. Perhaps later on we'll get a custom set made out of tan leather to match the GT 20 limited edition luggage cases for the rear boot - but to be honest the Oxfords are so good, it's not a priority.
Check them out: https://cabinmax.com/products/oxford-cabin-luggage...
After some months of research and visits to luggage stores armed with a measuring tape, I believe the above brands and models are just about the best luggage options you can find for the Alpine.
Happy touring!

I’ve been using one of these for the past few years. Should be available from any alpine dealer for about £80
It velcroes to the bulkhead (don’t know if that might be an issue on the newer cars as I know they changed the “carpeting” later)

As mentioned by folks above; it's not worth optioning for the storage box (plus fixed cargo net) - not only for the crazy cost but also you need to be a contortionist to be able to access its contents. And by keeping that rear bulkhead area free, you're able to handily place other soft items on top of the rear storage console unit such as handbags, small backpacks, or small summer jackets, etc.
I wasn't aware of the above accessory (see link) which M- Git mentions - I'll add it to the storage thread.
Q: anyone aware of any velco-backed products which DO stick to the interior carpet? As mentioned, since end 2020 / begin 2021 the cars were given a different / so called improved carpet material. The downside is: none of the previous Alpine storage cases or Amazon cargo nets "stick" to the newer carpet - which is a real PITA!
