These are the basic ingrediatns,“ reflects Melissa Del Bono who designs bags with sculptural yet unstructured shapes, sophisticated and feminine without being flashy or twee.
What started out as simply a hobby in order to satisfy her own needs and tastes, Melissa’s bags immediately gained a critical acclaim from the fashion industry appearing on the coveted pages of style bibles such as Vogue, Harpers & Queen and Elle.
Melissa’s inspiration is drawn from a pool of Anglo-Italian roots, international travel, and a passion for everyday life. These, combined with individual flair, an inbuilt knack for style, and a policy of using only premium Italian leather guarantees each bag bares charm, versatility, and character and all the other ingredients to satisfy every woman’s bag fetish. The simplicity of the bag is the key.
