Exclusive Craftsmanship & Cultural Diversity: Designs of Distinction.

The bags and accessories by the MITZII label utilize traditional materials and techniques, reimagined in an aesthetically modern form for today. A hallmark of each creation is the fusion of traditional craftsmanship with diverse cultural influences - including textiles, unique leathers, patterns, and names - resulting in entirely new designs. Each piece is crafted from a meticulously curated selection of original, authentic, and ethically sourced new and vintage materials. A deep love of detail shines through in the choice of high-quality natural materials and resources.
