The Elena is a classic leather tote bag with a striking pattern upgrade. Handwoven in Italy from premium Vachetta leather, this woven bag features a 100% cotton lining, magnetic top closure and two zippered interior pockets to keep belongings safe and sound.
A Vachetta leather handbag is the ultimate investment piece; it's the only kind of leather that naturally darkens with use to develop a deep honey "patina," becoming more valuable over time.

FRANCESCO & ELENA FILOMENI - Sant’Elpidio a Mare, Marche
Handwoven leather purses, shoes and even furniture have been coming out of the Filomeni family's workshop in Italy's Le Marche region since 1982, when part-owner Francesco Filomeni’s parents first founded the company. Meticulously hand woven from 150-200 meters of leather string, each satchel has a one-of-a-kind beauty that literally stops admirers on the street, which is a true testament to the skill, patience and quality with which the Filomeni's bags are made.

Beautiful craftsmanship
The bag is gorgeous and extremely well made. Most of my bags are couture designers and this definitely is up to par. The only downside is the length of time you have to wait for the bag. The tan also was a little lighter than I expected but still gorgeous!
Love my bag!
I absolutely love my Elena handbag...I use it everyday! It looks fabulous and is truly a timeless, classic piece. Customer service is incredible as well. I'll be buying again from Milaner. Thank you!
OBSESSED
Ordered this bag to travel in Europe with and now I use it as an every day work bag. It's big enough to fit whatever you want to in it but slouches down some for every day use, so it's big but not super bulky or anything. Their customer service was so responsive and helpful whenever I had any questions. I'll use this bag for the rest of my life.
