Description

The VEYA is defined by its fluid, sculptural silhouette. The soft curves of the hobo shape are contrasted by a structured fold at the back, creating a distinctive architectural shape. Hidden within the fold is an integrated phone pocket, offering easy access while maintaining a clean exterior.

An adjustable strap featuring the signature MB wave hardware allows the bag to be worn both as a shoulder bag or crossbody. A magnetic closure allows easy access while an additional inner pocket keeps your most precious items organized.

Crafted from next-generation materials such as INNOVERA™, a bio-based material with a soft, suede-like hand feel, or ELEVATE, a high-performance material with a refined, smooth surface. Paired with a luxurious INNOVERA™ lining, the bag combines structure, softness and durability.

Handmade in our German atelier, the VEYA reflects a balance of material innovation, precise craftsmanship and thought-through design.

Sculpted around movement

The VEYA was designed to move naturally with the body. Its soft, curved silhouette follows the wearer’s movements, creating an effortless balance between comfort and elegance. Organic in shape yet refined in appearance, it is a bag that integrates seamlessly into everyday life.

A signature in every detail

The signature MB wave serves as the defining detail of the VEYA. Developed as a custom metal component, it connects handle and body while introducing a subtle sense of recognition. Its flowing shape adds a sculptural accent and reflects the design language found throughout the collection.

A palette of possibilities

The VEYA is available in a curated selection of colours and innovative materials. Its soft construction allows the silhouette to drape naturally while highlighting the distinctive texture of INNOVERA™ and ELEVATE. Each variation brings its own character while preserving the bag's refined design language.

Next-gen materials

Crafted from INNOVERA™ or ELEVATE and paired with a luxurious INNOVERA™ lining, the VEYA combines innovative materials with traditional craftsmanship. Handmade in our German atelier, each piece reflects our commitment to uniting timeless design with a new generation of materials.
