About Milaner
Clothes aren’t the only fashion items available made-to-order.
Milaner sells made-to-order luxury shoes, hats, handbags, and accessories made by French and Italian artisans.
Milaner gained popularity after being featured on the Sex and the City reboot.
The brand was founded and launched in July of 2017 by Elisa Rossi and their headquarters are in Rome, San Francisco, and Milan.
Their production is based on a no-waste policy and products are made to order. This means that they start creating your handbag as soon as an order goes through. This ensures that no waste is produced and that each bag is uniquely handmade for you!
Milaner Review
I received the Sylvia City Bucket Bag ($445) in Bone to review in this post. Shipping was very fast! I received the bag within 4 days of ordering.
What I love most about this style is how spacious it is. I can easily fit my DSLR camera and other essentials in this bag. It’s also convertible from a tote bag to a crossbody bag. The crossbody strap is included with the bag. Milaner also sells alternative crossbody straps.
I carried this bag for a year and it still looks brand new. This bag is made to withstand wear and tear and appear timeless.
Milaner Pros
- Many colorways to choose from. Their bag styles come in many color options. They have core and seasonal colors.
- Sustainably Made – Their bags are made to order by artisans in France and Italy.
- Very Lightweight – I was surprised at how lightweight the bag was.
- Very Soft Leather – The leather is super soft!
- Lined Interior – The handbag is lined with microfiber fabric and leather trim.
- Multiple Interior Pockets – My bag had a zipper pocket and two pockets big enough for a mobile phone.
- Fast and FREE Shipping – I received my order within 4 days and all their bags are shipped free.
Milaner Cons
- Expensive – Their handbags and accessories have a very high price point. They’re considered a luxury brand. Expect to spend anywhere between $250 to $500 for their slow-fashion handbags. They do have a sales section where you can buy discounted handbag styles and colorways from past seasons.
Should I Shop at Milaner?
If you truly love and embrace slow fashion, Milaner is definitely for you.
Their styles are made to last for a long time. The silhouettes are very versatile and timeless.
