An Interview with Melissa Del Bono of Meli Melo

In 2005, London-based Melissa Del Bono recreated the fisher women’s basket typical of Lipari, Sicily, where she grew up, using the shape and texture as inspiration for a luxury handbag crafted from the finest Italian leather. Since then, meli melo (so named after her childhood nickname ‘Meli’) has gone from strength to strength, with timelessness, effortlessness and quality at the heart of each collection. We sat down with Melissa to find out more about the brand, plus her take on the SS16 collection.
