Welcome to MILLA VON COSY! I'm Mela, a bag designer and an absolute bag junkie. My love for bags inspired me to found MILLA VON COSY in 2023 and create something very special: beautiful bags made from a unique material without the use of animal leather. Every bag you find here has been crafted with great care and attention to detail.
When designing, I take inspiration from where the bag will accompany its wearer – whether for an evening out or for everyday life. It is important to me that my designs are not only beautiful but also surprising. Many models can be worn in different ways: crossbody, as a belt bag, on the wrist, or over the shoulder – thanks to clever details and sophisticated straps. In doing so, I ensure that the bags not only look unique but are also comfortable. Especially with my larger models, I value a cut that hugs the body softly, making them wonderfully cozy and pleasant to wear. My goal is to create a design that you haven't seen a thousand times before.
During my training at the Arsutoria School in Milan (bag construction and manufacturing), my eye for the interplay of form, material, and craftsmanship was sharpened.
As a nature-loving woman from Hamburg at heart, it was important to me to let my love for animals, the environment, and traditional craftsmanship guide me when founding MILLA VON COSY. I firmly believe that everyone can make the world a little better – even with small things. Sometimes, just a little bit of attention given to someone is enough to make a difference.
That is why every MILLA VON COSY bag contains not only craftsmanship, but also a small gesture of connection. Each bag has its own serial number and comes with a small keychain, the LoveTag, which features a piece of the bag. This tag is intended as a small gift for a loved one – as a sign that you always remain connected, no matter how far apart you are.
