DeMellier London was founded with the vision of doing things differently: to design handbags that would make women feel empowered and using ethical and sustainable production processes while giving back to those who need it most. All the pieces are crafted ethically in Spain or Italy using the finest sustainably sourced materials and for every piece sold DeMellier funds vaccines and treatments aimed to save the life of a child in need. Per the website, “Our pledge is to continue to work hard every day to research new materials and practices to ensure we are at the forefront of the ethical and sustainability practices, from extending the life of our products to using as sustainable materials as possible.” Check out some of the brand’s best-sellers!
