ASPASSIA TAGLIENTE PORTFOLIO

About the brand

Aspassia Tagliente is a luxury leather goods brand founded in Brussels in 2019, inspired by mermaids — symbols of divine feminine energy, freedom, and strength.

This spirit lives at the heart of the brand: powerful, sensual, and ever-evolving. Each handbag is designed as a sculptural expression of individuality, combining bold silhouettes with timeless elegance.

Made in Florence by skilled artisans, the pieces are crafted using carefully selected deadstock and by-product materials — to minimize waste and support responsible production.

Aspassia Tagliente creates handbags that celebrate the woman of today, who moves through the world with purpose, strength, and style.

About the founder

Aspassia, founder and designer, brings a deeply personal vision shaped by her Italian-Greek roots and international upbringing in Brussels.

Her creative journey evolved through studies in Fashion Management at SDA Bocconi and professional experience at Chanel. Today, Aspassia is also a guest speaker at SDA Bocconi, where she shares her journey of building a brand from the ground up with the next generation of fashion professionals.

She launched her eponymous brand to explore handbag as a symbol of evolving femininity — a reflection of women’s changing roles, desires, and rhythms. “The history of handbags represents the history of women,” she says. “I design timeless pieces for this new era of women: independent, mobile, and unapologetically themselves.”

CRAFTSMANSHIP AND ETHOS

Aspassia Tagliente works closely with a family-owned manufacturing atelier based in Florence, Italy, where a small team of around ten artisans brings her designs to life with precision and care.

Committed to ethical production, she sources all materials from Italy, using only co-product leather from the food industry and high-quality dead stock leather from major luxury houses — ensuring no exotic skins are used.

Driven to create a zero-waste production cycle, Aspassia limits production to just 5 to 10 pieces per design, avoiding surplus of inventory and unnecessary waste of materials, energy, and natural resources. She repurposes leftover leather into small items like keychains and organizes annual sample sales to give unused prototypes a second life.

Her ethos is grounded in thoughtful creation — where craftsmanship, responsibility, and refined aesthetics coexist.
