Reviews
I was looking for a genuinely spacious tote but worried that at 46cm wide and 29cm high, it might look like a weekend holdall. I shouldn't have worried! Because the genuine leather is so beautifully soft, it slouches and moulds elegantly to the body when worn. It holds absolutely everything without looking bulky.

The detail that completely sold me was the leather wrap with the brass poppers that secures the two straps together. If you've ever had tote straps dig into your shoulder or constantly slip off your coat, this little addition is a game-changer. It makes carrying a full bag around the city incredibly comfortable.
Eleanor M. Verified Customer
I spend most days carrying far more than just my own essentials, and this tote handles it beautifully. It sits comfortably on my shoulder, stays out of the way whilst I'm holding my little one, and has more than enough room for everything we both need.
Hannah W. Verified Customer
It is surprisingly difficult to find a chic, large shopper bag that actually has a full zip closure across the top. The Emilia gives me the relaxed, effortless look I love, but offers total peace of mind when I'm travelling on the London Underground or walking through busy streets.
Sophie W. Verified Customer
The shoulder drop is absolutely perfect. It sits comfortably over bulkier layers whilst still feeling effortless to carry. The straps stay wonderfully flat and secure thanks to the popper fastening, making it an elegant choice for everyday wear.
Claire T. Verified Customer
This is the ultimate travel companion. The 46cm width means I can easily slip my 14-inch laptop inside along with my cosmetics, a cashmere wrap, and a magazine. The full zip keeps it all completely safe under the airplane seat. Extremely elegant travelling.

The dark chocolate leather is sublime. It has that very subtle, natural sheen that you only get with high-quality genuine leather. It elevates even the most casual outfits and feels wonderfully comfortable to carry from morning coffee runs to a full day out.
Penelope L. Verified Customer
I usually buy from Bond Street designers, but the Emilia has completely won me over. The craftsmanship on the zip and the strap bindings is flawless. It looks and feels like a bag that costs three times as much.
Margaret R. Verified Customer
I despise traditional laptop bags, so finding the Emilia was a dream. Because it is 29cm deep and nicely structured at the base, it easily holds my 15-inch laptop upright alongside my water bottle. It is the most stylish way to carry my tech to cafés or meetings.
Juliette F. Verified CustomerIt strikes the perfect balance between relaxed and polished. I carry it during the day for shopping trips or visiting galleries, and it comfortably holds any small purchases I make. A highly practical but beautiful piece.
Beatrice H. Verified CustomerIt arrived promptly, beautifully presented, and accompanied by a high-quality protective dust bag. The leather smells wonderful right out of the box. A truly lovely shopping experience from Malena London.
Fiora D. Verified CustomerThe vintage brown tone is absolutely gorgeous. It’s a very rich, dark chocolate that pairs beautifully with neutral knitwear and denim. I’ve had several women stop me in cafés to ask where it’s from.
Alice K. Verified CustomerA beautifully slouchy tote that still maintains enough structure at the base (17cm) so it doesn't just collapse on the floor. The brass hardware has an antique finish that complements the leather perfectly.
Diana S. Verified CustomerI bought this for weekend escapes and it is simply perfect. It sits nicely on top of a small suitcase, and the leather is incredibly supple. My new favourite travel bag.
Gillian P. Verified CustomerThe little leather strap holder is the best invention ever! My bag stays securely on my shoulder whilst I’m holding my coffee and navigating the high street. Excellent design.
Rosalind M. Verified CustomerI was worried a bag of this volume would be heavy, but the leather itself is surprisingly lightweight. It saves my shoulders on long days out, even when I have it fully packed.
Elizabeth V. Verified CustomerClassic, minimalist, and very secure. The zip glides smoothly without catching, which is always a good sign of quality craftsmanship in larger tote bags.
Vivienne N. Verified CustomerI am thrilled with this purchase. The Emilia is unpretentious but undeniably chic. It comfortably fits my MacBook, diary, makeup bag, and all my daily bits without looking overstuffed or losing its slouchy shape.
Joanne C. Verified CustomerThe proportions are spot on. It is wide enough to access everything easily, but tall enough to keep things hidden securely. Very well engineered for modern women.
Elin B. Verified CustomerA fantastic everyday investment piece. The leather feels thick and durable enough to withstand daily commutes, but it looks incredibly elegant.
Emma H. Verified CustomerStunning piece. The attention to detail, from the luggage tag to the secure interior pockets, makes it a joy to use every day. I will definitely buy from this brand again.
Valerie T. Verified CustomerBeautifully made handbag. The full zip at the top is exactly what I needed for city living.
Sylvia B. Verified CustomerThe leather is incredibly soft. It has a wonderful slouchy, relaxed look that I adore.
Katherine J. Verified CustomerFive stars. The 24cm shoulder drop is perfect, and the straps are very comfortable.
Yvonne W. Verified CustomerA gorgeous, spacious tote. Arrived quickly and the quality is outstanding.
Rebecca Q. Verified CustomerLove the rich brown colour. It’s the perfect stylish bag for everyday errands.
Angela M. Verified CustomerHighly practical without sacrificing any elegance. The popper on the straps is brilliant.
Pauline F. Verified CustomerMassive capacity and fits my laptop perfectly, yet looks so chic. Exactly what I was looking for.
Helen C. Verified CustomerExactly as described. A beautiful, deep leather bag that feels very premium.
Mary D. Verified CustomerMy new go-to bag for the weekends. Secure, roomy, and very stylish.
