Designer Melissa Del Bono did not expect the rapid acclaim and celebrity-following for her bags which started off as a hobby to satisfy her own creative desire. Already featured in style bibles such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and Elle, Melissa’s inspiration is drawn from a pool of Anglo-Italian roots, international travel, and a passion for everyday life. Combining individual flair, an inbuilt sense of style and the determination to use only premium Italian leather.

DIA SAYS: Favored by fashionistas such as Olivia Palermo, Sienna Miller and the lovely Kate Middleton; everyone needs a Meli Melo bag!
