Three silhouettes. Three ways to carry.
A bag is often chosen in a glance: a curve, a proportion, the way a handle sits above the body. Living with it is a longer conversation. How does it move with you? What do you reach for inside it? Does the shape feel as right on an ordinary morning as it did when you first saw it?
Doppio, Lia and Melissa Vanity offer three answers. Each belongs to AKINNA’s language of structure, with a distinct relationship between form and everyday use.
01 / The tote
Doppio: a defined form for a fuller day
The Doppio Leather Tote brings structure to a familiar carrying shape. Its zip closure is a practical part of the design, keeping the opening defined as you move through the day.
Choose Doppio if you like the visual ease of a tote but want a silhouette with a clear outline. In Almond Beige, the pebbled finish gives the surface texture without taking attention away from the form.
Before deciding, compare the listed dimensions with the things you carry most. A tote’s proportions do not, on their own, confirm that a particular laptop will fit; check the product’s stated fit rather than choosing by appearance alone.
02 / The handbag
Lia: clean lines, considered proportions
Lia’s character comes from the balance of its shape. Clean lines give the bag definition, while its proportions keep the design composed.
It is the starting point for someone who wants a structured handbag to become a familiar part of her wardrobe. In Almond Beige, the smooth-nappa finish offers a quieter surface expression than the pebbled finishes of the Doppio and Melissa Vanity shown here.
Consider Lia alongside the clothes you return to most: the scale of a jacket, the line of a dress, the colours you wear through the week. The most useful choice is the one whose proportions feel natural with your own.
03 / The vanity
Melissa Vanity: geometry with room within
Melissa Vanity makes its point through geometry. Its box-shaped silhouette has a distinct presence, with a generous interior that is part of the design’s appeal.
Choose it if you want the outline of your bag to contribute to an outfit. The Almond Beige version pairs that geometric form with pebbled leather, bringing texture to the defined surface.
Think about the shape of what you carry as well as the quantity. A pouch, glasses case or other everyday essential needs a usable opening and the right internal dimensions. Consult the product details before assuming a fit.
The three at a glance
| Design | What defines it | Start here if you are drawn to… |
|---|---|---|
| Doppio Leather Tote | A defined tote silhouette with a zip closure | A tote form and room for your daily carry |
| Lia | Clean lines and balanced proportions | A structured handbag with a precise outline |
| Melissa Vanity | A geometric vanity form with a generous interior | A box-shaped silhouette with a distinct presence |
Make the choice personal
Begin with the silhouette that draws you in. Then check the details that will matter once the bag is yours: dimensions, closure, available carrying options and care guidance.
If a tote is the form you return to, begin with Doppio. If clean lines and balanced proportions catch your eye, look at Lia. If you want a geometric shape with room within, explore Melissa Vanity.
Designed by Annika Saraf, these three forms share a material language of full-grain calf leather. Their differences are what make the choice yours.
