With so many “it” bags on the market, it’s hard to know which ones will stand the test of time. Brazilian designer Elisa Atheniense crafts the kind of handbags that boast both timeless design and premium construction for ensured longevity. After getting her start studying in Florence and creating accessories, the designer returned to Brazil to launch her handbag line.

Made manually one at a time for exceptional attention to detail, Elisa Atheniense’s eponymous collection sets itself apart from the pack. Rustic details like woven leather and braided handles are fused with sleek hardware for a lush look that’s utterly urbane and so versatile. Atheniense also handcrafts metal pieces to adorn her bags.

A beautiful handbag that’s artfully constructed will stay by our sides for the foreseeable future, thanks to Elisa Atheniense.
