What did the beginnings of Save My Bag look like?

We created a “goodie bag” to give away at jewelry events, a simple structure with an iconic design made in an innovative fabric. Clients were very impressed by the material's lightness and began using it as a case for their designer handbag.

What inspired you to name your brand?

We were inspired by our clients who were actually using the bags to protect their designer handbags when traveling.

“Save My Bag is all about creating products in a sustainable way: strictly cruelty-free, manufactured in Italy in fair conditions, priced reasonably for the consumer, women managed.”

Where do you find inspiration?

My inspiration comes from various contexts: travel, fashion, art, nature, and sometimes even food. I’m never fully focused on fashion per se – it’s beauty and exploration in general.

What made you want to design bags?

I love handbags. Sharing my work and making women happy is the best part of my job.

Do you have a favorite piece that you have designed?

Our iconic Miss Inspired design with a playful and feminine twist.

What is the one piece of advice you would give to a new designer?

Create something you would go crazy for.

How has the fashion industry changed since you first started out?

Fashion has evolved significantly in the past decade. The structure can still be quite rigid but the relationship with the final consumer is very direct now.

What was the toughest circumstance you overcame when just starting your business?

Explaining our concept and our vision of a different kind of handbag: less structure, more useful.

If you could go back and tell yourself one thing before beginning your career, what would it be?

Don’t worry too much and enjoy the journey.

What sets your brand apart from the rest?
