Whom You Know Celebrates Our 7,000th Post with Mel Boteri's Vanessa Bag! Introducing MEL BOTERI Luxurious, Personalized Handbags Designed by YOU
You know we think Mel is just peachy:
We love the Vanessa bag in Midnight Blue equally!
Shades of violet, navy and black are tiled together with class and the look is brought together with a flattering removable gold chain, enabling the bag to be both a clutch and an over-the-shoulder. The clasp is sturdy, the inside is a work of art in suede, and it even comes with a table bag holder. We love it!
We are pleased to celebrate our 7,000th post with such a classy style by Melanie Mueller!
Nothing speaks more about a woman’s lifestyle and taste level than her handbag and shoes. Knowing this, Melanie Mueller, a young, up-and-coming Atlanta fashion designer, decided that the way for a woman to best express her personal style and uniqueness is through her own creations. Often frustrated herself by the overload of styles that still did not meet her individual needs or sizing, Melanie used this insight, along with her entrepreneurial and fashion instinct, to create MEL BOTERI – a custom design business specializing in personalized handbags and shoes for fashion-forward women who exude professionalism and confidence.
MEL BOTERI launched in the fall of 2009, and is largely a US based website business, offering a fully personalized experience that originated on the premise to provide clients with a one-of-a-kind shopping experience. Here, clients are empowered to create theiraccessories precisely as they want them. While MEL BOTERI provides the basic silhouette, it allows clients to become the true designer, selecting the style, components and color of each item they design. Melanie also has a showroom in Atlanta where she meets with clients by appointment only, and private showings can be scheduled to take place in the designer’s showroom, the client’s home, office or other choice of location.
“For as long as I can remember, I have always had a passion for fashion and I am specifically drawn to the inherent power of fashion which allows you to influence emotion by expressing your personal style,” says Melanie. “MEL BOTERI was therefore originated on the premise to revitalize the inherent influence of fashion by empowering each client to create products and services precisely as they want them.”
Currently the handbag collection (custom shoes will launch in 6 months to a year) includes clutches as well as small, mid-size and large handbags. Ordering a customized handbag online with MEL BOTERI is a fun process, as each bag has several style options including various accessories such as pockets and handles. Once a client has selected the perfect style, they proceed to choose from multiple materials and colors. The quality of the materials is superior, as the leather and components for the handbags originate from Italy and Spain. The calf-skin, patent and suede leathers used for the bags and tassels are buttery-soft, and the metal hardware is substantial. Even the strap and handle lengths can be adjusted to your individual preference.Specialized orders are also accommodated, making possibilities truly endless to create a one-of-a kind bag! All bags include the signature “MEL BOTERI” turquoise suede lining, and are hand-made with personalized care in Portugal. Inspired by the beautiful and powerful women in her life, each handbag style is named after a special friend, family member, mentor, or acquaintance of Melanie that has left a lasting impression on her.
MEL BOTERI customized handbags take approximately 4 to 6 weeks for delivery once an order is placed. The cost of a MEL BOTERI bag runs approximately $465 to $785, and comes with a satisfaction guarantee. Clients who order the specially designed Lauren Bright Pink clutch can feel especially good about their purchase, as MEL BOTERI will donate 10 percent of the proceeds from the sale to the Atlanta Chapter of Bright Pink, an organization dedicated to providing education and support to young women who are at high risk for breast and ovarian cancer.
