The name AMELI stems from the french girl name Amélie and the french verb améliorer, meaning to strive, boost, enhance. We want to advance you and all women by providing you with elegant, timeless pieces that do not compromise on functionality.

We are striving for more, better. We strive for better design - bringing you the perfect (business) handbag, fusing functionality with wearable, contemporary bag designs. We strive for a better world - valuing craftsmanship, integrity and transparency with handmade products from Italy. We strive for more than a bag - empowering women by donating part of our profits to NGOs supporting women's rights and education.

Our shop provider only allows the check-out process in one currency which is CHF. If CHF isn’t your local currency, your payment will be processed at the most current exchange rate.

We accept almost all major credit cards (MasterCard, VISA, Maestro, American Express), Google Pay, Apple Pay, Paypal, TWINT and purchase by invoice. In case those payment methods don’t work for you, just mail us atinfo@ameli-zurich.comand we will find a solution that works for you.

While we strive to produce under high-quality standards, it is possible that some bags may have unexpected issues. In such cases, we offer a repair service so that your favorite bag can stay with you forever. If you encounter any issues, please contact us at info@ameli-zurich.com and provide pictures of the damage.

Since the repair service goes through our manufacturer in Italy, the entire process might take up to 3-4 weeks.

We stand behind the quality of our products and offer a two-year warranty on our bags for defects resulting from issues in the production process or materials used. Please note that the warranty does not cover "wear & tear" defects (e.g. scratches) that result from the regular use of the product.

If you encounter any issues, please contact us at info@ameli-zurich.com and provide pictures of the damage.

We are sorry - this is not possible at this point in time for individual persons. However, we are offering personalized products to companies on request or for over 50 quantities.
