About us

Welcome to the world of ManilaBags , where craftsmanship and creativity blend to create unique and timeless bags. We craft each piece by hand, using durable cotton cord and high-quality genuine leather, taking care of every detail with patience and passion.

We're an eco-sustainable brand: we don't produce large quantities, thus avoiding waste. If a model doesn't sell, we can dismantle it and reuse the rope, transforming it into a new creation.

My name is Tatiana, I'm originally from Ukraine and have lived in Rome for over 15 years. After a career as an English teacher and translator, I discovered my passion for sewing by buying a sewing machine almost on a whim. From there, ManilaBags was born, my artisanal dream, inspired by my three children: Massimiliano, Nicole, and Lavinia.

Our bags are fully customizable, because every customer deserves an accessory tailored to their style. From the choice of colors to the finishing details, each bag tells a story: yours.

Wearing a ManilaBags means carrying with you beauty, quality and the value of true “handmade ”.
