The Story behind Holy

About The Holy Bag

Our Story

More than a bag. A story you wear.
Founded in the heart of Athens by fashion stylist and creative director Antonia Skandalari, The Holy Bag was born from the desire to create pieces with meaning — bags that blend elegance, symbolism, and everyday luxury.

Each collection reflects a conscious approach to fashion. Not just an accessory, but a tribute to timeless femininity, Greek craftsmanship, and thoughtful design.

Our Philosophy

Intentional design. Effortless elegance.
The Holy Bag is guided by the belief that true beauty lies in simplicity and substance. We create bags with soul — handcrafted, refined, and designed to last.

We don’t follow trends. We honor essence.

Sustainability

Respecting the planet with every stitch.
Sustainability is woven into every decision we make — from our choice of materials to our production process.
We use ethically sourced leather, natural straw, and low-impact methods that reduce waste.

Luxury for us is not excess — it’s awareness.

Handcrafted in Greece

Crafted by human hands. Rooted in tradition.
Each The Holy Bag piece is made by skilled Greek artisans, drawing on generations of experience in leatherwork and weaving. The result? Unique bags full of character, precision, and soul.

This is not mass production. This is modern heritage.
