Claire's Travel Bag | Classic Version
Every bag tells a story—and Elena Mercer’s Journey is no exception. Inspired by my travels through peaceful landscapes, where the air is fresh and life moves at a gentler pace, I handpicked each piece of leather to embody the perfect blend of durability and timeless elegance. This bag reflects the essence of those journeys a harmonious balance of strength and beauty, crafted to accompany you on your own adventures.
Features & Benefits:
- Perfection: Every Elena Mercer Journey bag is carefully crafted from premium full-grain leather, ensuring a level of quality and attention to detail that mass-produced bags can’t match.
- Timeless durability: Designed to last a lifetime and grow even better with age—the leather develops a rich patina, becoming more beautiful with every use.
- Thoughtful organisation: A well-considered interior keeps your essentials in place—elegant yet practical. No rummaging—everything has its spot.

- Tailored comfort: The adjustable strap ensures the perfect fit for your comfort—whether you’re running a quick errand or out all day, this bag is your ideal companion.
From first sketch to final stitch, I personally oversee every step, ensuring you hold not just a bag, but a piece of my heart and soul. Welcome Elena Mercer’s Journey into your life and carry a story that’s uniquely yours.

How is your jewelry made?
Each Elena Mercer bag is crafted with precision and care. We use high-quality leather, solid hardware and hand-finished edges, with close attention to every detail. Our timeless designs are made to last for years, and every bag is carefully inspected before it leaves our workshop.
How should I care for my bag?
To keep your leather bag looking its best:
- Keep dry: Avoid rain and spills. If it gets wet, blot (don’t rub) and let it air-dry away from heat.
- Avoid lotions & perfumes: Oils, hand sanitisers and fragrances can stain leather.
- Clean gently: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper care, use a neutral leather cream sparingly.
- Store smart: Keep in a cool, dry place inside the dust bag, stuffed lightly to hold its shape.
- No overfilling: Prevent stretching and stress on straps and seams.
- Mind the sun & heat: Prolonged exposure can fade or dry the leather.
- Hardware care: Wipe metal parts after use to reduce tarnish.
- Colour transfer: Be cautious with dark denim or fresh dyes.
If you’ve got any questions about leather care, contact us — we’re here to help.
