    Ellen Ruben | Leather Bags, Purses and Shoe Designer

    Hi I'm Ellen,
    I am a designer specialising in leather handbags and shoes. I live in Tel Aviv the urban jungle on the Mediterranean sea.

    My calling to explore the world of design and aesthetics is rooted in my childhood as a young girl discovering for the first time our "jaffa Flea Market" a place I thought to myself is intriguing, a site of treasures hiding in junk, beauty, nostalgia, old and new. I was unconsciously inspired from then on.

    A few years later the inspiration and curiosity were much too strong to hold back and decided to pursue my attraction and travel to NYC where I've enrolled to the " Parsons - New School of Design" to study fashion and accessories design. During my studies and long years after them I have designed bags and shoes to some of NY finest boutiques, worked with many leading stylists. my work was featured on the hit show “Frasier” and has graced the red carpet at the SAG Awards on the arm of Peri Gilpin, fondly known as Roz Doyle.

    After long 6 exciting years in the big apple, being mainly homesick, I decided to get back to Tel Aviv and start my own Leather handbags and shoes studio, selling my items all over the country leading high-end boutiques.

    Today, I own a fashion boutique on the trendy Jaffa flee market area in Tel Aviv.

    In between designing handbags and shoes and managing her store, I am "manoeuvring" to train students the techniques, methods, theories and insights of handbag making. "If you desire a handbag to take you from day to evening, and you can't find it, it is the perfect motivation to create one by yourself."

    Inspired by this philosophy, I am determined to create bags and shoes leaned on classic design and yet infused with the contemporary chic style to create an impeccable product. The bags are made from fine handpicked leather, customized to fit your needs, with attention details and balanced proportions. Creations that are whimsical, yet practical, at the same time.

    Born (1.1.1971) and grew up in Israel, Ellen was enthusiastic to discover the "Jaffa flea market" at Jaffa, Tel Aviv. This "site of treasure and junk" was unconsciously her first inspiration and draw her to the magic of "the stories behind the items…"
    Encouraged by her closest friend to pursue her secret dream of shoe design, Ellen traveled all the way to the Manhattan, NY and registered to "Parsons – the new school for design" to study shoe and accessories design. This was followed by a successful business catering to New York boutiques. Her work and talent have been recognized by stylists, including exposure on the small screen. Her work was featured on the hit show “Frasier” and has graced the red carpet at the SAG Awards on the arm of Peri Gilpin, fondly known as Roz Doyle.
    After 6 years, away from her family, homesick feelings has sent Ellen back to her hometown. Back in Israel, Ellen started a new page/life as a handbag designer. Her hard work and her unique "fingerprint" were cherished by Israeli buyers as well as the end customers.

    Years after working as a handbag designer for a commercial company and working as an independent designer with high-end boutiques, Ellen initiated a collective designer's shop: "Umbrella – designers under one roof" - A major step towards her second goal, to meet and know her customers in person.
    In between designing handbags and shoes and managing her store, Ellen "maneuvers" to train students the techniques, methods, theories, and insights of handbag making. "If you desire a handbag to take you from day to evening, and you can't find it, it is the perfect motivation to create one by yourself."
    Inspired by this philosophy, Ellen is determined to create bags and shoes leaned on classic design and yet infused with the contemporary chic style to create an impeccable product.
