Mlouye's Sera tote bags have a striking, 3D exterior with a maze-like design that's offered in various colorblock shades. The sides are also inspired by an accordion, as they fold inward for a stylish yet functional flair. The Sera Tall Tote Mini comes with more rounded handles and the matte gold hardware is up front instead of on the side.

A quick glimpse at its Sera tote bags draws you in with its captivating geometrical designs. They’re all about structure, and Meb Rue, the brand’s creator and creative director, used her experience in industrial design to develop them.

Mlouye exemplifies great quality like other designer items but purposefully makes utilitarian designs to better people’s lives for a fraction of the price of a luxury handbag. Although the purses are made of Italian leather and suede, they lack the smooth-to-the-touch look that luxury bags are known for. Instead, they have an eye-catching 3D exterior with a maze-like pattern that comes in a variety of colorblock tones. The sides are likewise accordion-inspired, folding inward for a fashionable yet useful look, and the bag may be enlarged for extra space. There’s also a suede drawstring top to keep your valuables safe, which is a stylish yet sensible addition.

Are you a minimalist who only carries the essentials? This is great because the little tote is meant to store only the necessities. However, the site specifies that the largest phone it can carry is an iPhone 12 Pro Max plus a cardholder or a compact wallet — and maybe AirPods? Gummy has a lovely rainbow tint, and there are various additional colorblock possibilities available.

Sera Tall Tote Mini, $475

It’s the Sera tote you know and love, but bigger. The Sera Tall Tote Mini has more rounded handles than the normal Sera and matte gold hardware on the front rather than the side. Its height even gives it the illusion of a bucket bag, and its somewhat bigger stature allows it to fit an iPhone 13 Pro Max.

This is the bag for you if you want a statement bag that oozes modern elegance without being gaudy. The folded accordion top is more visible than the tiny tote. The largest of the three Sera totes, it’s the ideal everyday bag, holding any phone and all your needs.

Mlouye, founded on three pillars of good design, quality, and elegance, strives to deliver functional and unexpected products that capture the spirit of the moment.
