My Favourite Leather Bags- Meelia Leather Review

I'm a self-confessed bag addict, and I wanted to shop for a new bag during this autumn. I discovered a really cool and unique leather bag boutique called Meelia Leather, which sells some of the most elegant and luxurious range of leather bags, totes and handbags that I've ever seen. Here's a bit about Meelia Leather - founded by Maria, Meelia Leather is named after her two lovely daughters ‘Milla’ and ‘Lea’. The shop serves as a celebration of the beauty and sensitive nature of women, which is reflected in their mission to bring the most high-quality pieces and accessories to everyone out there.

Meelia Leather is no ordinary leather bag shop. They design and hand makes everything in a small studio using real Italian leather and high quality materials, so everything is guaranteed to be top-notch. They use unused sofa leather meaning that it not only helps the environment, but also means the bags are really strong, sturdy and durable.

I was lucky enough to be able to try out a Florence dark brown shoulder bag- I was immediately attracted to this bag because of it's unique design. It is made using smooth Italian leather and has a faux crocodile leather pattern in the middle. It reminds me of those high-class big brands in London's high street. There's also space for A4 notebooks and a laptop, as well as lots of room for makeup, clothing and even a pair of shoes. I really love the size of the shoulder bag, as it's large enough to carry all my essentials but not too big in that it looks clunky.

As you can see, the bag is truly excellent in quality. All the zippers inside the bag are made from high quality materials, and the lining of the bag feels super smooth and soft. I love the straps- it is extremely well made and really looks polished and well-finished. I also love the feel of the bag when I carry it. It goes so well with a variety of outfits and jeans/ a leather jacket! 

Meelia Leather also has a variety of other bags, which you can see below. They offer Free Standard Delivery which takes 2-5 days across the UK, and all their bags are reasonably priced. I just love some of their more colourful bags too, especially the ginger briefcase and the red shoulder bag. It just pops out and makes any outfit ten times better.

Interview with Maria, the founder of Meelia Leather

1) Why did you start your boutique?

With growing massive production of poor quality and expensive accessories I wanted to create handmade, pretty and unique ladies handbags. Therefore I started my brand with an online shop and I quickly was noticed by local Oxford and Oxfordshire boutiques: Barley Oxford and Bippity Boo in Chipping Norton. I’m in the process of finalising details with few more stockists.

2) Who's your favourite style icon? 

Nobody. Does it sound weird? I see things and I like it or not. I don’t follow any trends or particular fashion. If the first impression is WOW then I look at the quality, practicality of the product. I like smart but casual.

3) What's special about your bags? 

My bags all feature unique designs – handcrafted in a small studio using high quality materials, combining a range of classic and contemporary style with range of colours. Luxury Leather – we source our leather from the unused stock of my sister's Austrian company Anbe-Home Places (www.anbe.at) which manufactures luxury leather furniture using the finest Italian hide Lasting Quality – made from unused sofa leather means our bags are of the same level of exceptional strength and durability

4) What's your favourite thing to do in Oxford? 

Playing with my daughters at the Florence Park and picking up strawberries at the Rectory Farm. Spending free time with my husband and friends in restaurants and pubs. I 've been living in Oxford for 13 years but I still descover something new and exciting each day.

5) Tell us something interesting about Meelia Leather that no one really know about! 

For boutiques and regular clients we can offer exclusive and bespoke designs if they are willing to wait up to 2 months for their order.

Thank you Maria for giving us some insights into Meelia Leather!
