PHILINI

“Creating bags, is not only a creative, craftsmanship process. It is also a process of discovering new people, characters. It has to fit not only to the body or practical needs, but mainly to the character. And I take it slowly until I get to know more to can create the bags. It can take time until I meet the inspiring me woman. But at the end – the inspiring me woman carries a Philini bag, and we, the team that work on that bag carries the memory about her. And so appear the collections - timeless, long-lasting and getting just more beautiful through the patina of the natural leather, as we all get to be with time and life-experience…” Nataly Brunner

We work exclusively with high-quality European leather from sustainable sources, renowned for its quality and durability. Our handmade leather bags are made from the following types of leather:
· Full-grain leather: natural leather with an authentic patina
· Buffalo leather: particularly robust and hard-wearing
· Aniline leather: premium quality from EU-certified companies
The natural leather of our custom-made bags develops an individual look and patina over time, telling the story of your bag. The hides come from farms that comply with all EU regulations. The tanneries process by-products from the food industry in a responsible and sustainable manner.
Sustainability, durability, and the preservation of natural properties are at the heart of our material selection for handmade bags.

Custom-made handicrafts mean conscious design, timeless quality, and values that endure across generations. Your dream bag will be individually crafted—with full attention and craftsmanship. You can be sure that time, experience, and expertise are invested in every piece. Each bag has character and soul and remains a reliable, beloved companion for many years to come.

In order to preserve the leather, shape, and workmanship, we recommend regular, gentle care. Information on colors, surfaces, and workmanship can be found in our comprehensive care instructions, which will protect your investment and preserve its beauty.

OUR COLLECTIONS

At PHILINI, we celebrate the strength and resilience of women. We understand that true beauty goes beyond appearances, choosing our models for their unique personalities as much as their looks. Our models hail from diverse backgrounds—students, lawyers, hairdressers, doctors, managers, and salespeople—yet they all share a distinctive confidence that enriches our creative vision. Often, we discover our models among our customers, sharing in the beautiful stories we create together. OUR STORY

We work on a Made-to-Order basis, which means we produce only when you place your order. We do our best to support the sustainable use of materials and the ethical working conditions of our highly skilled artisans. Your bag will be a little unique piece on which was working one person from the first step till the last one, as we craft our products in a family atelier that has a very big passion for quality, small details and an individual approach.

You can enjoy our products safe in the knowledge that no animal was killed for its skin. All of our hides come from European farms which comply with strict EU legislation on animal welfare, and our associated tanneries use as raw material a waste product of the food industry.
