A seasonal statement piece, the Mela Wicker Bucket Bag is entirely made in Italy and beautifully combines the look of a basket bag with elevated, practical features. The square wicker exterior is handwoven by artisans in Tuscany with a transparent varnish to protect its delicate, porous nature. The interior is lined in 100% cotton with a waxed drawstring closure to ensure all contents stay secure. An adjustable crossbody strap is made from soft calfskin leather, as is the convenient carrying handle, detailed in a woven textured pattern.

Note: Due to the delicate nature of wicker, take care that this may stain if in direct contact with liquids or darken after excessive sun exposure.

Height: 17 cm / 6.7 in
Width: 20 cm / 7.9 in

Mini Elena Woven Handbag - Premium Leather

I ordered this handbag in the brown vachetta leather based on the rich color shown in the online pictures. The handbag itself was perfect in size and the quality of the Milaner workmanship is unprecedented. I have three Milaner handbags and adore each one. The rich color of vachetta leather takes time to age, and I was expecting to receive it looking like that. The customer service representative explained how the leather would age with time. I did return the bag and was refunded minus a $20 shipping fee.

Beautifully crafted, but on the small side for everyday use

This bag is beautiful! I love how it looks, how the leather feels and the long cross body strap. Only reason I couldn’t give it 5 stars is it falls short on function for me. I don’t need to carry much for everyday use, just a phone, small hairbrush, usually a small hand sanitizer, some mints and small Kleenex package, and a few really small items like lipstick, nail file and I was able to get that in, but its tight. I keep my credit cards in my phone case so my phone is a bit wider than many peoples' but I don’t need to carry a wallet, which would never also fit. The curved middle goes down so low that it takes away a lot of the room and you have to push things to the sides and up to close it. So its perfect as an evening bag, but a bit small for daily use which is how I was hoping to use it.

Sophisticated bag

Beautiful suede. Suede taupe is a bit of a light grayish beige. The 14" is great for simple everyday use. For travel, I'd go one size up.

Blue Heaven

Excellent! My newest Milaner Italia bag is the Mini Elena in blue. The color is a dream since I wear a lot of denim and the bag adds a ‘chicness’ to my outfits.
