    Colour: Caramel

    This is one of those bags that looks better the more you actually use it.

    I bought it mostly for work but now I take it on weekends too. The shoulder strap makes a huge difference when I’m carrying too much stuff 😅

    Simple, practical and honestly just really easy to wear.

    Colour: Caramel

    Was mir direkt aufgefallen ist: sie bleibt schön in Form.

    Hatte vorher eine andere Ledertasche die nach paar Wochen nur noch zusammengefallen ist. Bei dieser passiert das bisher überhaupt nicht.

  • Katharina B.

    Colour: Caramel

    Sehr sehr schöne Tasche!!

    Ich mag vor allem dass vorne nicht so ein riesiges Logo drauf ist. Sie sieht einfach clean aus und passt wirklich zu fast allem.

    Hab sie jetzt mit Jeans, Mantel und auch Kleid getragen und jedes mal sah sie gut aus 😅

    Der Schulterriemen ist auch super praktisch.

    Colour: Caramel

    Been using it for around a week now and I’m honestly reaching for it every day.

    It looks quite small when you wear it but somehow fits everything?? my laptop, headphones, makeup bag, wallet and even a small water bottle.

    The feet on the bottom are also such a small thing but I LOVE that, especially when putting it down in cafes 😅

  • Nina S.

    Colour: Nero

    Die Tasche ist wirklich geräumiger als sie aussieht.
    Ich bekomme Laptop, Geldbörse, Schlüssel, Ladekabel und sogar meine kleine Trinkflasche rein.

    Der Magnetverschluss ist im Alltag viel angenehmer als ich dachte weil man einfach schnell an alles kommt.

    Einzige kleine Sache: am Anfang war das Leder etwas fester aber nach ein paar mal tragen schon viel besser.

    Colour: Nero

    ok I was actually a bit nervous ordering this because I hadn’t seen the bag in person but wow 😭
    the leather is SO nice. not super shiny, not stiff, just feels really expensive.
    I’ve been taking it to work and my macbook fits with charger + wallet + random stuff I always carry lol.
    also love that it doesn’t collapse when I put it down.

L'Essenziale genuine leather tote carried in a refined Zurich setting.

L'Essenziale

Architecture for everyday life.

Clean lines, generous capacity and a confident structure create a tote that reads as taste, never as a logo.

Workday to Weekend

Structured in hand. Easy on the shoulder.

Carry it by the short handles or attach the adjustable leather strap when the day asks for both hands.

FROM THE FOUNDER

FROM THE FOUNDER

The bags I couldn’t afford taught me everything.

I was born in Ukraine, left for Jerusalem at eighteen, and spent my London years working as a private assistant for the famous and powerful people of this world — people who loved quiet luxury, the kind you see in the leather, not the logo. I worked closely for people who owned the kind of leather I could only look at. I’d walk down Oxford Street and stop at windows I couldn’t buy from. You learn a great deal about quality when you cannot buy it — the weight of it, the stitching, the way a good bag holds its shape.

Now I live above the lake in Zurich, and I choose every ALEONA piece the way I once wished someone had made them for me: real leather, quiet, honest, and priced so an ordinary woman can actually carry it.

With love, Aleona.
