Description

The handbag of the future. BAILEY is the world’s first handle bag made with MIRUM®, the progressive vegan leather of the next generation. The innovative material is made using only natural materials and it is completely plastic-free. This newly interpreted version of the award-winning BAILEY bag was developed in close collaboration with the MELINA BUCHER bag makers. Handstitched details, hand-painted and polished edges and cambered handles underline the geometric silhouette. The subtly understated 18ct gold-plated logo emblem accentuates the craftsmanship that MELINA BUCHER is known for: thoughtful design meets perfect execution.
