The Evie Mini

£750.00

This leather hand bag is meticulously handcrafted using traditional techniques and hand-stitched with durable waxed thread for long-lasting strength. The rolled straps pass through the top flap for secure closure and a refined profile.

Made from the finest full-grain leather from J&FJ Baker of Devon, this hide is oak-bark tanned for over 14 months to increase durability and then hand-dyed with a blend of natural oils and greases, so each piece develops its own unique character. Originally produced for carriage hoods, the leather is soft and tactile yet highly resilient. The interior is lined with a flesh coloured vegetable tanned leather, to give a light backdrop to your essentials, with solid brass feet to ensure the bottom of your bag stays off of the floor.

Designed to be the perfect occasion bag, or daily, because why wait for an occasion for a bag this gorgeous to carry.
Beautiful, practical, and built to age gracefully. Made to order with a current lead time of around 4 weeks; contact me if you would like the bag for a specific date and I’ll do my best to accommodate.

The Evie Mini holds all of your everyday essentials.

Dimensions: 290×250×80mm

I’m Melissa, I design and make every piece myself.

Each piece is made by hand to order, just for you, using full-grain leather sourced from the best UK tanneries, using sustainable tanning practices.

The tanneries I work with only use hides that are a natural by-product of the meat industry, chosen carefully and tanned using responsible, low-impact processes. It’s an approach that values both quality and longevity, while making thoughtful use of existing materials.

Full-grain leather is selected for its strength and character—developing a rich patina over time, unique to its owner.

No shortcuts. No mass production. Just considered design and honest craftsmanship, made to be used and appreciated for years to come.
