Features
CENTRAL fuses elegant design, Italian craftsmanship, and practicality into a remarkable working bag. Meticulously designed with well-thought-out details, it has become our all-time bestseller and received now, based on valuable insights from our customers and Annahita Esmailzadeh, some major improvements to come even closer to the 'non-compromise business bag'.
Organized from the inside
Tailored for the demands of a hectic business day, the CENTRAL provides ample space and smart organization. It features four large open pockets for easy access, a secure zipped pocket for valuables, and a specially padded compartment designed to safely hold laptops up to 14 inches.
For our limited dark green edition, "BREAK THE BIAS" is as message embossed.

2-in-1 bag
CENTRAL presents a versatile 2-in-1 solution with its removable clutch. Featuring cleverly concealed loops, the clutch seamlessly integrates with the straps, allowing for a smooth transition from work to after-work engagements.
Multiple ways to wear
Versatile by design, the CENTRAL can be elegantly carried as a top-handle bag, slung over the shoulder, or worn cross-body with its length-adjustable strap. For the traveler, it conveniently attaches to your suitcase, and for lighter outings, the removable clutch serves as the perfect standalone accessory.

Frequently Asked Questions
Based on valuable customer feedback and Annahita's insights, we adjusted the following details: Optimized zipper placement, an expanded closure for extra storage, a flexible interior layout with an additional zip pocket and padded laptop compartment, an extended, adjustable shoulder strap, and a sturdy leather luggage strap.
The exclusive Limited Edition features the 'BREAK THE BIAS' slogan embossed in the inner compartment and on the clutch, available in limited dark green with a comfortable, adjustable strap.
For more details, watch the video above to understand all the differences.
The main differences include the absence of a middle divider, the addition of an interior zipper pocket, longer shoulder straps, and a full-leather suitcase belt.
Transparency is one of our core values, this includes transparent pricing.
Compared to retailers margin of 5-7x the production costs, we only work with a multiple of 2-3 to cover our internal costs. This gives us the chance to offer you a very high quality bag that is produced in Italy under fair working conditions. If you want to know more about it, make sure to discover our transparent pricing page.
If you plan to store your CENTRAL bag for a longer time, consider filling it with a pillow or blanket to help maintain its shape.
To protect it further, avoid direct sunlight by placing your CENTRAL in our dust bag, ensuring the handles stand upright, even if they extend outside the dust bag. Store it on a shelf in a low-light environment to prevent any marks from forming over time.
Lastly, it's best to keep the clutch inside the CENTRAL bag while in storage.
For a step-by-step guide on storing your AMELI bag, watch this video from our founder, Christina, where she walks you through the process to ensure your bag stays in perfect shape.
