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

Looking for the ultimate bespoke carry-all? The Classic 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 enough room for all your daily needs. 

For a larger size that’s perfect for the gym, flight or overnight, choose the Travel Elena. If you want something smaller for a quick outing or date night, choose the Mini 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. 

  • MADE FROM handwoven premium Vachetta leather, which develops its own valuable patina over time.
  • SIZED FOR daily needs like a small laptop, water canteen, and makeup pouch.
  • STYLE WITH your favorite oversized blazer or cream-colored silk shirt.

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.

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.
