The Sera family

Sera is the bag that made the label’s name: a symmetrical body with a stepped, maze-like front built from stitched panels, and a suede drawstring top that folds out like an accordion when the handles open. The Sera Tote is 30 cm wide; the Mini Sera Tote is 19.5 cm and takes a large phone and a cardholder. Sera Mia adds an adjustable top handle with a turn-lock, and Sera Eclat swaps the handles for a wide strap so the bag slumps into a hobo. the Sera Tote guide compares them in detail.

Flex, Naomi and Atlas: the folded shapes

These are the bags that read as geometry. The Flex Bag is a triangle of flat leather panels with a suede two-way zip top; unclip the strap and it hangs from the wrist. The Naomi twists polygons into a compact shoulder bag with a magnetic flap, and the Naomi Baguette stretches the same idea long and low. Atlas mirrors kaleidoscope panels into a star shape. origami and geometric bags covers this side of the house.

Seashell, Helix and Pandora: the soft sculptures

Not every Mlouye bag is sharp. The Seashell Tote is a bucket of hand-stitched panels that fan open like a shell; there is also a smaller Mini Seashell. Helix has a wind-spinner twist and a top handle on a hidden joint that drops away when you use the strap. Mini Pandora takes its curves from Oscar Niemeyer. See shell bags.

Model 12, Isla and the work bags

Model 12 takes the shape of a traditional doctor bag, framed in leather bands, in a full size and a 12 Mini (doctor bags). The Isla Tote takes a 16 inch laptop and closes with the pleated turn-lock; the Checker Tote XL and the reversible M Tote are the other big bags. designer work totes sizes them up for work.

Evening: Luna, Seal and Grid

For evening, Luna 20 is a crescent that works as a clutch, a round top handle, a wrist bag and a crossbody (crescent moon bags). The Seal family closes with a wax-seal clasp: Seal Clutch, Seal Double Clutch and the shoulder Seal Flap. Grid Clutch is a padded leather cube.
