To create timeless, effortless bags that women can wear every day.
As a designer living in London, I’m inspired by the urban buzz and eclectic tastes of the people who live here. My designs reflect the way that real women live their lives.
We blend the finest traditional Italian craftsmanship with a distinct London edge, creating timeless yet modern handbags that stand out. Our signature style showcases high-quality, buttery-soft leather paired with suede drawstring closures, bold chain details, and adjustable tubular straps. These structural elements add depth, creating versatile and stylish bags that are as practical as they are chic.
Color plays a key role in defining the Meli Melo identity. We maintain our iconic hues while introducing a fresh, complementary range of seasonal shades to keep each collection dynamic and relevant.

At Meli Melo, we design for the modern, adventurous woman—always on the move, effortlessly balancing life between city streets and serene escapes.
