Born in Amsterdam. Worn everywhere.
Montesere designs refined leather pieces for women who move with intention. Quiet, sculpted and effortless — from early mornings to late evenings in the city.
Our philosophy
The idea behind Montesere is simple: the bag you reach for every day should feel as considered as a special-occasion piece. Many handbags feel either very functional or very decorative. We chose a different path.
Each silhouette is drawn in our Amsterdam studio with attention for proportion, weight and movement. The result is a collection of pieces that elevate your routine without ever shouting for attention.
Why Montesere
- Timeless design — clean shapes and sculpted lines that stay relevant for years.
- Responsible materials — premium European leather chosen for feel and durability.
- Everyday practicality — light to carry, easy to organise and comfortable all day.
- Accessible luxury — high-end quality without the traditional luxury markup.
We create pieces that are meant to be worn on repeat. Not for one season, but for many. The focus is on balance: softness and structure, form and function, presence and ease.
Crafted to endure
Every Montesere piece begins with a single purpose: to become a timeless part of your everyday life. Our artisans work with premium leathers sourced from certified tanneries, shaping each bag with precision, patience and intention.
Unlike mass-produced accessories, a Montesere bag is created in small batches to ensure quality, longevity and character. The more you wear it, the more it becomes uniquely yours.
Craftsmanship and materials
Each Montesere bag is made in small, carefully managed batches. Our production partners combine traditional craftsmanship with precise modern finishing, creating a supple feel and a lasting silhouette.
We work only with certified tanneries that meet strict European standards. Hardware is selected for strength, smooth closure and a refined, minimal look. Your bag is made to age with you, not against you.
