NOVELLE's Story

The Beginning

I didn’t plan to start a bag company.

I was deep in my finance career—power walking between meetings, catching red-eyes, juggling emails between elevators.

Like many women around me, I carried a designer work bag that looked great… and hurt to carry.

I’d see it every morning: ambitious women moving fast, their sleek leather totes cutting into their shoulders.

The rest settled for practical backpacks that clashed with their power suits.

What struck me was this: we’ve been told to carry more, hold it all together, and look good doing it.

But no one had created something that truly supported how we move through our lives.

So I set out to bring the bag I couldn’t find to life.

Something thoughtful. Functional. Light — in every sense of the word.

Design Philosophy

This isn’t about fashion. It’s about feeling at grounded in your day.

Every detail in our bags has intention — no clutter, no confusion. Just the essentials, organized beautifully. A clean exterior. Light enough to forget it’s there.

Pockets exactly where you need them. Because when your things have a place, so does your mind.

And in a world that constantly demands more, we choose to carry less — with clarity, confidence, and focus.

A Minimalist Mindset

To me, minimalism isn’t just aesthetics. It’s a way of living.

It's letting go of what weighs you down — physically, mentally, emotionally — and investing only in what adds real value.

That’s what this bag stands for. Not just a carryall - it's a quiet revolution.

It’s for women who know that simplicity is power.

That less isn’t lack — it’s luxury.

That your life should feel lighter — not just look it.

This is the bag I needed back then.

It’s the one I built for women who move with purpose now.
