The base

The bag you stop thinking about.

How it is made
What holds a bag together.
Vegan leather is only as good as what is done with it. So we spent our time on the parts a photograph does not show.
02
The seams
Straps are box-stitched where they carry weight and pocket corners are bar-tacked.
03
The inside
Fully lined, with a zip pocket for what matters and, on many bags, a key leash.
04
The details
Zip pulls engraved with our name, a small letter tag, and nothing louder than that.
The bag you stop thinking about.

About Nela
Fewer bags, better made.
Nela is a small label that designs its own bags. Every shape starts with our own drawings and tech pack, and every one gets a name instead of a product code.
We make them in vegan leather, in three colors that go with what you already own, for women who would rather buy one good bag than five quick ones.
