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'.
Different 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.
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.
Limited Edition Features
The limited edition bag features the empowering message 'Break the Bias' embossed on both the clutch and the interior, and comes equipped with a wider, length-adjustable strap—serving as a stylish and constant reminder to challenge prejudices and be a force for change.
AMELI ZURICH x ANNAHITA ESMAILZADEH
BREAK THE BIAS
Together with tech leader, business influencer and bestselling author Annahita Esmailzadeh, we have released a limited "BREAK THE BIAS" bag.
About the collaboration
Both Annahita and AMELI share a mission to question existing structures and empower women, making this collaboration a perfect match to enhance an existing bag while drawing attention to an important message: 'BREAK THE BIAS.' Christina regards Annahita as an inspiring force for change, while Annahita appreciates AMELI's blend of timeless design and practicality—a match made in heaven.
About the purpose
Our limited-edition bag with the slogan 'Break the Bias' aims to raise awareness about prejudices and support women in obtaining the same opportunities and chances as men. By addressing, challenging, and breaking through biases, we want to encourage women to pursue their dreams and goals without limitations.
About the bag
The CENTRAL is one of our best-selling bags, yet over time, we've received invaluable customer feedback and suggestions from Annahita how we could improve the bag even further. Since our goal is to create uncompromising and timeless bags while championing the slow fashion movement, we've chosen to enhance the existing model rather than introduce yet another one.
Made in Italy with craftsmanship, transparency and integrity.

Yes, in ca. one month, we release also our standard colors with these updates. For now, you can have a look at our original CENTRAL.
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 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.
