All our handbags and leather goods are handcrafted in a factory in the south of Spain that embodies the craftsmanship and artisan techniques that we believe luxury should stand for. It can take 50 different pieces or more and 12 skilful artisans to make one of our bags. Each style requires an incredibly elaborate process, making each handbag a small piece of art.

Our factory is audited yearly by the Spanish authorities to ensure full compliance with EU work laws and is top ‘A’ rated on Social Accountability by international certification agency SGS. They also work on a number of social causes such as doing free visors for local hospitals during the pandemic and helping local apprentice schools.

On the sustainability front, they never throw away any raw materials and leftovers are always donated to local apprentice schools. As we look to the future, we continue our mission to move towards solar energy to power our buildings and machinery. The factory is also REACH certified, which means we ensure the correct use of chemicals to protect human health and the environment.

The majority of our raw material suppliers are based in Europe and follow strict EU labour and environmental laws. For suppliers outside of Europe, DeMellier is implementing a supplier code of conduct to ensure worker’s rights are respected and environmental impact is properly managed.
