Our Brand Story

H E R I T A G E

Elyse & i, a Singapore-based brand by British designer Emily Cheetham, embodies creativity, imagination, and heritage in its coveted line of handbags and accessories. Focused on craftsmanship and standout design, the brand sits proudly at the approachable end of luxury.  Each handmade bag, created with meticulous attention, reflects the brand's love for texture, sculpture, and pattern. 

From signature leather-knot embellished clutches to versatile day-to-night bags, Elyse & i’s aesthetic is sartorial yet practical. Exquisite finishes, quality hardware and surprise features such as interchangeable straps or hidden pockets take the bags to the next level.
