Timeless Designs
Handcrafted and made-to-order, these luxury handbags embody a heritage of craftsmanship. Marcella Gene creates classic styles that are meant to be cherished and passed down through generations. Rather than following ever-changing trends, we focus on timeless designs and enduring quality.
Intentional Fashion
Our commitment to slow fashion means each bag is meticulously crafted, encouraging an investment in quality over quantity. A bag should be made to last. Embrace sustainability and elevate your style with pieces designed to stand the test of time.
The Art of Craftsmanship
From my hands to yours, each bag is meticulously created with passion and precision by our founder. No two handbags are exactly alike; they each carry the mark of uniqueness, making each creation a distinct expression of craftsmanship.
Hi, my name is Lauren Gene.
I founded Marcella Gene (named for my fabulous grandmother) in 2021 after leaving my traditional 9-5.
My journey to become a highly-skilled leather artisan was inspired by a transformative trip to Italy back in 2019. Wandering through artisan workshops, I fell in love with the intimate connection between craftsmen and their creations. I left with a desire in my heart to pursue a craft of my own.
Marcella Gene is the result of that journey. From my hands to yours, I hope you enjoy these timeless styles as much as I enjoyed creating them.
