Our Dreamer Bag
Being our top innovation in 2024/2025, the DREAMER bag is the world's first vegan handbag made from 100% bio-based and plastic-free materials and won the prestigious
German Design Award 2025
“A circular handbag that impresses with its consistent use of biobased materials, offering a plastic-free alternative for the fashion industry,” the jury stated, and granted the award for 'Excellent Product Design'.
Crafted from next-generation materials like MIRUM®, BioPuff®, LOVR® and Forager® foam, the DREAMER bag sets new standards for sustainability and innovation. Handmade in our German atelier, the bag’s sculptural silhouette and soft, glossy textures are a tribute to thoughtful, future-forward design.

Our Atelier
Opening our own German atelier, where we craft high-quality vegan products by combining the traditional techniques of our master artisans with innovative next-generation materials, was a consequent step. This space is not just where we produce — it's where we co-develop. In collaboration with material innovators, we test biobased materials, helping to make them market-ready and crafting the future of luxury from the inside out. Besides broad press coverage, we proudly received the
PETA UK Fashion Award 2024
“Not content with being one of the most exciting vegan accessory brands on the market,” the jury wrote, “Melina Bucher took further steps for sustainability by opening an atelier where artisans work only with high-end, animal-free, next-generation materials.” PETA awarded our atelier the 'Progress Award'.
