Naelys
The Essence of Travel and Craftsmanship
In the hands of Nathalie Sasizza, each Naelys creation tells a story, that of a passion passed down from generation to generation, in the heart of a family of French artisans. At a very young age, Nathalie was captivated by the meticulous art of leatherwork, plunging at the age of 18 into the prestigious world of the Master Saddlers' workshops. Alongside these artisans, she learned the rigor of the gesture and the nobility of materials, shaping pieces for the greatest French luxury houses. But her dreamy spirit and thirst for innovation pushed her to go further, to expand her know-how.
After years of perfecting her art, she decided in 2016 to create Naelys, a brand that carries within it both the heritage of tradition and the momentum of modernity. Naelys was born as an ode to discreet elegance, a tribute to Greek mythology whose clean lines recall the softness of the lunar nights of Antiquity. Each model, designed with meticulous attention, evokes both strength and delicacy. Alongside Michel Broussal, a master model maker for over 40 years, Nathalie brings her ideas to life. Together, they shape the first prototypes from cardboard, giving life to the sketches with tangible forms that already reveal the spirit of Naelys: unique creations, imbued with exceptional know-how.
But Naelys is not just a story of technique. It is a story of the soul, a quest for beauty and uniqueness. The full-grain leathers, chosen with the greatest care in France and Europe, bear witness to this relentless search for quality and authenticity. Far from hiding the traces of time, these leathers reveal their natural grains, wrinkles and veins that tell their own story. Among these treasures is shagreen, a rare and hypnotizing exotic leather. Its pearly grain and mineral sheen give each bag an almost mystical aura, a captivating beauty that seems to transcend the ages.
One day, during a trip to Africa, Nathalie discovered another world of colors and textures. Vibrant fabrics and patterns steeped in history captivated her creative mind. From this immersion a new creation was born: the Adeona bag, in homage to the goddess of travel. With Adeona, Nathalie brings back to France the sparkles of Africa, combining them with the timeless elegance of French know-how. This bag becomes the embodiment of the meeting between two worlds, an invitation to travel, a promise of adventure and escape.
Today, Naelys finds refuge in a pop-up boutique in the heart of the old town of Antibes, a few steps from the port, where sailboats gently sway under the golden light of the Mediterranean. In this setting with high ceilings full of history, each creation seems to whisper a story both old and new, a story of distant lands and timeless elegance.
With its exclusive jewelry, exceptional leathers and clean lines, Naelys is not simply a brand. It is an invitation to stand out, to reveal your uniqueness, to carry with you a part of history and dreams. Nathalie, a true craftsman of emotions, reminds us that each bag is much more than an accessory: it is a piece of life, a reflection of oneself, a work of art in its own right.
