What to know about Demellier
City names, one core shape family
The line is built on structured calfskin styles named after cities — Nano Montreal, Mini Venice, New York, Tokyo — in clean silhouettes rather than seasonal novelty.
Direct-to-consumer, not department store
Sold mainly through its own site with some European wholesale, using family-run workshops in Spain and Italy to place it below traditional luxury-house pricing.
Every sale funds a child's treatment
The brand commits each bag sold to funding vaccines or medical treatment for a child in need, a fixed part of the model rather than a campaign.

Brand facts
DeMellier is a London handbag label founded by Mireia Llusia-Lindh, a Barcelona-born Harvard MBA who previously advised luxury groups including Burberry and LVMH.

Every sale funds vaccines or medical treatment for a child in need. The brand sells mainly direct-to-consumer online, supported by wholesale stockists in Europe.
