  • 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.

  • Emily R.

    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.

  • Marta G.

    Colour: Nero

    Me sorprendió muchísimo el tamaño porque por fuera se ve bastante elegante y no tan grande, pero dentro cabe todo.

    Llevo el portátil, cartera, maquillaje y todavía queda espacio.

    También me encanta que no tenga un logo enorme delante. Se ve mucho más sofisticada así.

  • Julia F.

    Colour: Nero

    Ich wollte eigentlich nur eine schwarze Tasche fürs Büro und jetzt nehme ich sie literally überall mit 😂

    Sie passt einfach zu allem und man bekommt erstaunlich viel rein.

    Für mich definitiv eine von diesen Taschen wo man morgens nicht überlegen muss ob sie zum Outfit passt.

  • Hannah K.

    Colour: Nero

    Really really pretty bag.
    I normally only buy small bags so when it arrived I thought “okay this is bigger than what I usually wear” but after one day I got used to it.

    It actually looks very elegant on and I love the long strap when I’m walking around the city.

    Only reason for 4 stars is I’d personally love one more little pocket inside. Otherwise honestly no complaints.

  • Chloe B.

    Colour: Nero

    Very nice everyday bag.

    I really like the fact that the branding is so subtle. I’m not really into bags with giant logos everywhere so this was exactly my style.

    Would probably buy another colour if they release one I like.

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.

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.
