What makes MIETIS different

Designed in Barcelona, handmade in Igualada

Every MIETIS bag is designed in Barcelona by María Fontanellas and handmade by artisans in our own workshop in Igualada. Production is kept in-house, so the team controls every stage, from material selection to the final finishing details.

Hand-painted edges

The edges of MIETIS bags are painted by hand, often in a contrasting colour: a finishing detail that has become one of the brand's signatures.

Fumée: no two pieces alike

Fumée pieces are hand-painted one by one with a smoke-like colour gradient, so every bag is unique.

Limited editions, made in small runs

MIETIS produces in limited quantities, following a “less is more” approach. Limited editions are made in small runs; the MIETIS Collectors list gets early access to each new drop.

Design your own: MIETIS & You

With MIETIS & You, clients can book a session to design a personalised leather bag with the team in Barcelona, choosing the model, leathers, edges and details.
