Why Melina Bucher
We take a new path.
Most premium handbags are still made from animal leather. Most vegan materials are still based on plastic. We take a new path.
Melina Bucher starts with the material and ends with the craft: innovative vegan materials are turned into sculptural, elegant bags in our own German atelier.

Our bags don't start with a trend but with the material: bio-based, vegan and developed with craftsmanship, durability and form in mind.

FAQ
The key answers
Are vegan bags durable?
Every one of our bags is developed for shape retention, load and everyday use. Material choice, reinforcements, seams and hardware aren't considered in isolation but as one complete construction system.
What does vegan suede feel like?
INNOVERA™ Suede is soft, tactile and lighter than animal leather. The material is based on plant protein and recycled ingredients. We currently offer our most popular designs LOULOU, BAILEY and TESSA in vegan suede.
Isn't vegan leather just plastic?
Many vegan leather materials are made largely of plastic. When choosing materials for our bags, we place great importance on reducing the plastic content as far as possible. MIRUM® is vegan and completely plastic-free. ELEVATE® is 99% bio-based. INNOVERA™ Suede is made of 80% bio-based and recycled ingredients.
Where are the bags made?
Melina Bucher bags are made in our own German atelier in Mannheim.
How long does shipping take?
Shipping times depend on availability, destination and, where applicable, made-to-order production. Current lead times are shown directly on each product page.
Can I return products?
Yes. All orders come with a 30-day return period, provided the bag is unworn and in returnable condition. Exceptions, such as personalised products, are shown on the product.
