I am a Greek Italian architect, specialized in bioclimatic and environmental architecture- and a mum of 2 beautiful boys, 13 & 16 years old.
After living the wonderful experience of becoming a mother I discovered the need to juggle between many different roles and identities trying always to be myself and keep my own style. Nevertheless I had to deal with practical issues like going to a business meeting followed by my kids’ sports activities and to top it all by a dinner invitation, with no time in between to go home and change into the right outfit.
I discovered that I had to find a dress code that would work for the whole day, that could be made suitable for all circumstances by altering only small details, like a scarf, a pair of earrings, or a pair of shoes, whilst having my laptop, my kids clothes etc. with me.
But where do you keep and hide all of these things, without having to carry a suitcase with you?
I needed THE PERFECT BAG!
So, I designed it!
I’ve always loved designing bags, I love to work with canvas, suede and leather. From the age of 15 and I had already designed a collection of beautiful leather totes and shoulder bags, which you can find in my shop https://www.etsy.com/shop/ElenaVandelliBags.
But this one, the ‘’mum’s bag’’ as I call it, is a life saviour! This wonderful, versatile extra-large bag into which you can throw whatever you want, conveniently stored in practical envelopes that you can also find in my shop in a variety of sizes, covers all of your everyday needs, adding at the same time a ‘street fashion’ touch to every outfit!
It comes in many colours, it is classic and timeless so it can make the perfect woman gift for your loved ones, without having to worry about sizing! It comes gift wrapped and can be shipped worldwide!
