The ISLAs I would choose for you
I'm Silvia Monteiro, founder and creative director of ISLA.
Over the years, some bags have become my companions, on
trips, meetings, busy days, and special occasions.
These are the pieces I choose to share here. Not every bag needs to be the most eye-catching. Some simply make sense.
A personal curation, for different moments, styles, and occasions.
Discover my selections below.
Lightness to go. Style to arrive.
When traveling, I like bags that can adapt to different occasions without complicating my routine.
From the airport to dinner, these are my picks for traveling with practicality, lightness, and personality. See my travel selection:

craftsmanship, or simply for the way they fit into life.
