Handcrafted bags

Leather
The most important part of our bags is the leather itself. It contributes to high quality and expertise behind the handmade, artisan products.
Michelle works with different kinds of leather. Cow leather, calf leather and residual leather from big fashion brands. Michelle Reine – Handbag Design Studio only use hides of European origin. We use hides that derive from the food industry as a by-product of dairy and meat industries only. The cowhide and calf leather are mostly of Italian and Spanish origin. It complies with EU regulations, meeting the strict environmental guidelines in the industry for every aspect of the production process.
Limited Edition
The Limited Edition bags are made of residual leather from a big fashion brands, like Prada, Hermès or Yves Saint Laurent. These pieces of leather are from older seasons or it is leather that is no longer used, leather that the industry rejects or damaged leather. The amount of leather decides how many bags Michelle could make. By using the leftovers she contributes to the prevention of waste and next to that, it is amazing leather with the best quality.

Photo Sessions
In the backyard
A daily something, a small stroll while the garden is blooming, a place where colors are brighter and the hum of bees is the voice of the garden.

Secrets beneath the waves
Beneath the waves, in a mysterious kelp forest hides a world in which numerous sea creatures swim around. The water is as blue as the prettiest nightfall and as clear as the purest crystal. The forest is pink like a decorated garden in spring time and moves gracefully in the water. When the sunlight glistens into the sea, it stimulates the growth of the kelp forests and provides shelter to small sea creatures. One of those sea creatures is the Ocean Dreamer. She lives in this wonderful underwater garden, rides on fishes through the wild waves and brings happiness to everyone. A breathtaking and lovely journey through this enchanting forest brings
a life filled with magic in the smallest of things.
