About
The brand: a Vision of Modern Italian Elegance
Founded in 2017, Lara Bellini is a contemporary women’s accessories brand born in the heart of Milan’s dynamic design scene. Specializing in luxury handbags and small leather goods, the brand embodies the essence of Italian craftsmanship with a modern, architectural twist. Designed for bold, style-conscious women, each Lara Bellini creation is a refined balance of elegance, structure, and character.
Inspired by the striking lines of modern architecture and the bold simplicity of geometric forms, Lara Bellini designs stand out through their clean silhouettes, sculptural aesthetics, and playful yet harmonious use of color. The brand’s distinctive logo—a fusion of a double "L" and double "B"—forms an iconic doll symbol, representing creativity, femininity, and individuality. This emblem is more than a signature—it’s a reflection of a unique and imaginative universe.
From concept to creation, each handbag is crafted with precision and care. The design philosophy behind Lara Bellini focuses on cuts, structure, and proportion, creating bags that are both eye-catching and timeless. These pieces are not just fashion statements—they’re artistic expressions meant to empower. The result is a collection that speaks to courageous, contemporary women who seek accessories with soul and sophistication.
As a proud representative of “Made in Milan”, Lara Bellini upholds the city’s legacy of high-end design, luxury, and innovation. From sourcing to stitching, the brand is committed to exceptional quality and attention to detail, ensuring each piece reflects Italian excellence and enduring style.
The Designer
The creative force behind the brand, Lara Bellini, brings an authentic and personal narrative to every design. Of Croatian descent, Lara’s journey began in Milan as a young model immersed in the world of fashion. She later pursued a degree in Public Relations and Advertising at the prestigious International University of Languages and Media (IULM). However, her passion for fashion remained, guiding her back to the industry—this time behind the scenes. Lara’s professional path led her into fashion PR, where she gained invaluable insight into the power of image, storytelling, and design. During this time, she met renowned architect and designer Claudio Bellini—her future husband and now business partner. Their shared love of design and aesthetic precision became the foundation for the Lara Bellini brand. Guided by fashion instincts and a keen eye for design, Lara infused the brand with structure, harmony, and refined femininity.
Sustainability & Craftsmanship: LWG-Certified Leather
Lara Bellini is committed to ethical production and sustainable luxury. All of our leathers are 100% Italian, sourced exclusively as by-products of the food industry, and are fully traceable. Our leather is processed in an LWG (Leather Working Group) certified tannery, meeting the highest environmental and social responsibility standards. This certification ensures that from rawhide to final product, every step respects both craftsmanship and conscience.
The Team
Behind every Lara Bellini handbag is a dedicated, all-women team whose creativity, skill, and passion fuel the brand’s success. Each team member brings unique strengths, perspectives, and experiences, contributing to a collaborative culture built on empowerment and excellence. This collective spirit of determination and artistry drives every design, every stitch, and every milestone we achieve. At Lara Bellini, we believe in lifting each other up—and designing for women who do the same in their own lives.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple yet profound: to make every woman who wears Lara Bellini feel like she owns a small piece of modern Italian luxury. We design for those who appreciate bold style, artistic integrity, and timeless sophistication. With every piece, we strive to tell a story of beauty, strength, and identity.
