What sets Mina apart from other clutch bags is its versatility. It can easily transition from a formal business setting to a casual outing, making it the go-to bag for any occasion. Its sleek design features a secure magnetic flap, ensuring the safekeeping of personal belongings. The simplicity of its shape, reminiscent of two sheets of paper divided at the bottom, adds to its unique appeal.
Creating Mina is a meticulous process that begins with the selection of top-notch materials. Leather, metal accessories, and finishes are handpicked for their quality. The leather and lining are then hand-cut and sewn together, including the metal accessories. The final touch involves painting the open edges of the raw leather, adding a polished finish to the bag.
The Mina clutch bag measures 320 mm x 70 mm x 230 mm, a size that strikes a balance between style and functionality. Its minimalistic design is complemented by the use of leather, making it not just a fashion statement but also a durable accessory. The bag also features a D-shaped ring on its left side, allowing for the attachment of various handles for added convenience.
The concept for Mina was born in the summer of 2016, with the final shape being realized in Budapest in November 2017. The design's elegance and versatility have earned it the Silver A' Fashion and Travel Accessories Design Award in 2019. This prestigious award recognizes top-tier, creative, and professionally remarkable designs that demonstrate outstanding expertise and innovation.
With Mina, Koralia Giori has successfully created a clutch bag that embodies the everyday life of the twenty-first-century woman. Its clear, simple, and elegant design, coupled with its stylish and functional features, make it a must-have accessory in any woman's wardrobe.
