SERAFINA

Serafina: Timeless Vegan Leather Bags for the Woman Who Knows Her Style

Trends come and go. The Serafina collection is designed to stay. Classic structured silhouettes, a woven signature detail, and vegan leather bags that bring quiet luxury to every carry. Every piece in this collection is PETA-approved, animal-free, and handcrafted in our Kolkata atelier from plant-based leather made from agricultural waste. La Baggio is a women-owned Indian brand founded in 2019 by Bhavna and Nikita Belani, and Serafina is the line we built for people who would rather buy one considered bag than three seasonal ones. Where some of our collections are built around a single mood, Serafina spans four shapes united by the same woven detail and the same restrained palette, so a piece bought this year still looks considered next to whatever you buy in five.

What's in Serafina

The Serafina Satchel is a classic structured satchel reimagined in premium plant-based leather, durable, medium-capacity, and built for the office and beyond, functioning well as one of our vegan leather office bags on a full workday. With its woven patterned flap and rich maroon finish, it brings together timeless elegance and everyday practicality in a piece you reach for again and again. The Serafina Mini Crossbody takes the same handwoven detailing into a smaller, hands-free shape, effortlessly elegant and built for days that call for less bulk, the piece most people reach for once they already own the satchel and want something lighter. The Serafina Clutch carries that handwoven craft into an evening piece, a sleek silhouette that transitions from desk to dinner without a second thought, timeless enough to outlast whatever trend is dominating that particular season. The Serafina Crossbody rounds out the line with an understated, sleek design, built for everyday versatility rather than a single occasion, the most casual of the four without losing the collection's structured feel. Across all four, the thread that holds the collection together is restraint, no piece here is trying to be the loudest thing in the room, and that is precisely the point.

The Craft Behind Serafina

Across North India, farmers burn millions of tonnes of crop residue every winter, one of the region's most stubborn pollution problems each season. La Baggio works with suppliers who buy this agricultural waste before it is burned and turn it into the soft, durable material behind every one of our eco friendly vegan leather bags, with no chrome tanning and no virgin plastic involved. The result is what we call genuinely sustainable vegan leather bags, not leather-adjacent, and cruelty free leather bags at every stage, PETA-approved from material to finish. From there, each Serafina piece is cut, stitched, and finished by hand by women artisans in our workshop, guided by three decades of craft in conventional leather before our family business shifted toward plant-based materials, the same hands behind our vegan leather hobo bags and every other line we make. It is a slower process than sourcing standard PU, a trade-off we make on every collection, not only the ones built to be noticed.

That standard has earned recognition beyond our own customers too, including honours from FICCI, the Indian Leather Products Association, and India's MSME Ministry, along with a selection by TiE Kolkata to represent the region at the TiE Global Pitch in Dubai. None of that changes what goes into a single Serafina piece, but it does mean the material story behind it has been checked by people outside the company, not just told by us. It also means the same craft that goes into a Serafina satchel goes into every other bag we make, priced for an occasion or built for daily use.

Serafina is one of many moods we make bags in, and it's worth seeing the rest before you settle on this one. Discover the architectural edge of The Mazeana, the playful charm of The Missy Collection, or the bold eveningwear of our vegan leather Noctra collection bags. For something quieter, our vegan leather Luna collection leans into soft, luminous textures. Beyond individual lines, La Baggio's wider range covers compact vegan leather sling bags for hands-free days and a full vegan leather womens wallet edit built to match, along with wholesale and corporate gifting options for businesses looking for something considered rather than branded in bulk. Every piece across every collection is handcrafted in India rather than mass-produced anywhere else, and every material choice traces back to the same agricultural waste that would otherwise be burned. Our collections include handbags, totes, and shoulder bags for daily use, clutches and sling bags for evenings out, and wallets and small leather goods finished with the same signature woven detail. If timeless matters more to you than trending, Serafina is where to start.
