A handbag can accompany you for a lifetime.
In 2007, Sílvia Monteiro was looking for a handbag that combined beauty, presence, and longevity. She didn't find one. So, she decided to learn how to make it herself.
This is how ISLA was born: from a personal need, transformed into a brand that believes in bags made to last.
The vision behind ISLA
At the helm of ISLA since its inception, Sílvia Monteiro translates, in each collection, a vision that unites design, material, and sensibility.
Her relationship with handbags began out of personal necessity and evolved into a purpose: to create pieces that go beyond trends, with striking shapes, special materials, and a keen eye for detail.
It is this vision that guides ISLA to this day, between the sophistication of design and the richness of Minas Gerais craftsmanship. A constant quest to create handbags that ignite desire, carry identity, and endure.
A legacy that takes shape every day.
From a small artisanal collection to a brand present in 27 Brazilian states.

An ISLA for each chapter
The brand was born recognized for its creations for special occasions. Today, its universe extends far beyond parties.
Beach, work, travel, nightlife, and celebrations.
Different moments. Different shapes.
The same essence: creating bags that stay with you for a long time.
Handmade in Minas.
Leather, texture, and finish are not mere details. They are part of the identity of each piece.
In 2020, ISLA also brought this vision to a Handmade line, produced with textile waste and manual weaving techniques, valuing the work of Minas Gerais artisans.
Different hands participate in each stage of construction. Each piece takes time to be completed, in a process that combines manual steps and specialized techniques.
It is a slow process by choice. Because we believe that time is also part of luxury.

The Lingering Desire
Some bags follow trends. Others become classics.
At ISLA, we strive to create those that endure.
Models like the Anne Bag and Party Bags have been bestsellers for years and remain among the brand's most popular items.
Because for us, a bestseller isn't just what sells. It's what endures.
From Minas to the World
ISLA grows from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, without losing its origin, proximity, and way of doing business.
Today, we are present in 299 Brazilian cities, in addition to our own stores, important multi-brand retailers, and national and international luxury marketplaces.
Minas is where we're from. The world is our horizon.
