Mli scours the world in her search for talented craftsmen and exceptional materials, with the result that many of Bagtart's craftsmen have created bags for top designer labels.

Chief artisan is M. Rivalland, who has produced handbags for French luxury brand Yves Saint Laurent among others. Using the finest and rarest materials, M. Rivalland and his team design and create Bagtart's range of designer handbags.



Guiliana Camerino, of Roberta di Camerino, a prestigious Venetian design company, defined three characteristics that distinguish a luxury handbag from all others:

1. Precious materials
2. Craftsmanship
3. Beauty of design.

The very best materials, meticulous hand crafting and timeless design makes a Bagtart bag the perfect representation of a luxury handbag.



At the heart of every Bagtart luxury handbag is the artisan. Some supposed luxury handbags are handled by up to forty people during their creation. Bagtart only assigns one artisan to the creation of an individual bag. So you know that your lovingly hand stitched and achingly beautiful bag has been touched by only one person - its artist.

Bagtart designers are more than master craftspeople. They are world renowned artisans.

To own a Bagtart luxury handbag is to own a rare work of art.

The materials used in the creation of a Bagtart luxury handbag are simply exquisite. We source only the highest quality materials available. These rare and valuable materials are in limited supply, so each handbag is entirely unique or a limited edition.

Bagtart luxury bags are crafted from:

• The highest quality leathers
• Exotics such as crocodile, iguana, lizard, ostrich, python, snakeskin
• Limited edition or exclusive fabrics
• Fastenings in gold, silver and other precious metals.
