Having provided design experiences in Buenos Aires for many years, we can say with conviction that one of the most popular shopping requests we receive from our clients is for leather handbags and purses, handcrafted in Argentina. Buenos Aires is famous for its leather goods, but, unless you're in the know, finding something truly unique can be a challenge.
If you're in Buenos Aires or planning to visit soon, and you're in search of a one-of-a-kind leather handbag then let us introduce you to this gorgeous new leather brand on the BA design scene.
Designer Maria Eugenia Antunez, graduate of the University of Buenos Aires, worked for a couple of well-known Argentinian leather brands before launching her own brand Amulett. Her background as a fashion designer and passion for anything related to art and design led her to create a fun line of leather accessories that we think you'll love.
Amulett's handbags are not only aesthetically beautiful but also very functional. They come in geometric shapes and a vibrant palette of colors and combinations.
The new brand offers two lines; one features more statement pieces that are constructed in such a way that you can fashion two different bag styles in one through simple folding techniques. The second line consists of more classic, everyday accessories such as tote bags and wallets. In both cases, the buttery soft texture of the leather and the contemporary cuts set them apart from other leather bags on the scene.
Handmade in limited editions, the collection ticks all the right boxes: unique, timeless pieces that you will treasure in your wardrobe for years to come, crafted by a local Argentine designer.
For the full experience, we recommend a visit to Amulett's studio, housed in a striking old cotton factory in the traditional neighborhood of Villa Crespo (next to Palermo Hollywood). An emerging creative hub where numerous emerging designers have recently opened showrooms. If you're a fashionista that likes to explore then this should be a must on your itinerary!
