Nonchalant and luxurious bags, designed in Amsterdam, handmade in Italy. We post about what inspires us, our bags and the people who wear them. Description Bag and accessories label LAAEL was founded by Dutch fashion designer Elja Lintsen and her brother Guido Lintsen. LAAEL is a boutique label, creating exclusive and distinct accessories. LAAEL's style fuses luxury and nonchalance. Playing with colours and structures, the designs vary from contemporary classics to charismatic eye-catchers. A LAAEL bag breathes cool elegance, but is always practical. This makes it the perfect accessory to the rhythm of modern city life. LAAEL leather bags and accessories are durable, high quality products in timeless designs. The leathers used are from France and Italy and the lining is an eco-friendly, organic cotton. The suppliers and factories who help make the LAAEL bags are all artisans based in Europe who care for their employees. This is how LAAEL aims to make a collection as sustainable as possible. Officially launched at Première Classe, Paris in 2010, LAAEL was quickly picked up by stores in Japan, Switzerland and France. Today, LAAEL includes a large collection of shoulder bags, clutches, totes and wallets in various styles. With every season, new shapes are introduced and a fresh range of colours and fabrics for the classic models like the wrist bag and the zip shoulder bag are added.
