The desire to create beautiful things, combined with the love of natural and sustainable materials, motivated Magdalena Wolf from Freiburg to learn leather crafts and become self-employed with her bag label Scilla.
Magdalena works in a reduced and minimalist way. Most bags are made from a single piece of leather, with the shape created solely by folding and shaping the material. The leather is held together by hidden rivets and minimal stitching to create the clean and distinctive Scilla style.
