Manifest Shoulder Bag
"I wanted to infuse a hint of boldness that diverges from the usual Tocco Toscano designs, hence the choice of black with hardware accents and vintage-sticker-book-tattoo-like motifs."
On Manifesting
Melina's design emerges from a blend of her personal style and her profound belief in the transformative power of manifestation.
"This creation is for the girls who venture onto the unbeaten path, who possess unwavering self-assurance and a profound trust in the universe's ability to manifest their aspirations."
Personal Growth
The bag's interior lining showcases Melina’s vintage-sticker-book-tattoo-like motifs that centre around personal growth and spirituality.
Nature as an Inspiration
For Melina, being immersed in nature is a fuel for creative spark.
"Inspiration can look like the intricate details of a budding flower, the ecosystem of fauna, the vibrant colours, and, most importantly, the sense of peace and wonder in a naturally crafted environment."
