· Made in Italy from 100% premium Vachetta leather
· Handcrafted

Looking for the ultimate bespoke carry-all? The Mini Elena is an iconic leather tote bag designed to elevate your everyday essential. Its striking pattern is handwoven in Le Marche, Italy by master artisans using premium Vachetta leather. Lined in 100% cotton, its interior features two secure zippered pockets and just enough room for streamlined necessities like your phone, wallet, keys and sunglasses. 

For a larger size that’s perfect for daily use, choose the Classic Elena. If you want something even larger for an overnight or while traveling, choose the Travel Elena.

Why Vachetta leather? Unlike other types of leather, Vachetta becomes even more valuable over time, making it a supreme choice for designers and investment pieces. Beginning as a lighter tan, it slowly develops a deep honey “patina” as you use it. No two bags are alike, making yours a one-of-a-kind expression that you’ll love to use for years to come.

Vachetta: Premium Leather

Vachetta leather is a full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather made from cow hide that primarily comes from Italy.
Prioritized by luxury brands and designers, its high fat content gives Vachetta an incredible, buttery soft touch that
elevates everything from luggage to bags to shoes. 

While it can be dyed, the beauty of Vachetta is most clearly seen in its raw state. Beginning as a pale beige, Vachetta
leather develops a unique patina over time when exposed to the elements, eventually becoming a
deep honeyed tan that’s subsequently more valuable and distinctive of its owner.
No two Vachetta bags will be ever the same, making one a bespoke, long-lasting product worthy of passing
down for generations to come. 

Whether as a gift for a loved one or for yourself, a Vachetta leather piece denotes that extra level
of thoughtfulness in a class all its own.

Great customer service

After using my bag every day for almost a year it needed slight adjustments. Even though it was past the warranty period, I was able to send it back for repairs. I was surprised by getting a brand new bag. Not only do I love the bag, but I was also impressed with the great customer service!

I bought this pair for its vintage look. It is well-made, using quality materials and a good fit. The choice of colour is for universal use. Overall, an excellent purchase.

Best Purchase from Milaner!

This is my 3rd bag from Milaner. I’ve the standard Elena that I have only started to add to my rotation. The crossbody that is amazing for hands free days. And now the travel Elena that I’ve used for my current trip and it’s been fantastic, fabulous, and gorgeous. It’s super functional, comfortable shoulder strap drop length, and I’ve received so many compliments. I love the brown vacchetta and of course the woven pattern. The only thing I can suggest is an option for a zipped closure. Otherwise, I’ve been using with a zipped bag organizer for security. LOVE ❤️
