Ellen Truijen: leather creations from The Netherlands

The label Ellen Truijen is the epitome of high quality and the understanding of exclusive craftsmanship in the field of leather processing. The brand was launched in the Dutch city of Maastricht by the same designer in 2002. After her fashion studies in Weert and her education at the Academy of Fine Arts in Maastricht, the young fashion designer was willing to put her own ideas into practice. The drive for the dynamic creative team working at Ellen Truijen’s side has always been - in addition to the joy of production - a very special requirement for the materials used. Each Ellen Truijen bag, just like every accessory from her home has been meticulously prepared, without losing sight of aesthetic value​. Quite the contrary: In neighboring Holland this brand is already a secret tip for trendsetters. We too at MBaetz have discovered the perfect mix of originality, care and attention to detail that characterizes Ellen Truijen bags..

Common Touch is the company philosophy at Ellen Truijen

Ellen Truijen values close contact with its manufacturers and suppliers throughout the entire production process. The individual handbags and trolleys are manufactured in selected, small factories with expert knowledge by craftspeople with real passion for their profession. Indeed, in the selection of materials a trusting relationship with the sellers plays an important role. This bond is a guarantee of compliance with self-imposed quality standards. You can feel an Ellen Truijen bag, truly, with all your senses. It smells of rich leather, is characterized by its softness and it catches the eye with its unconventional design.

Consciously different: Ellen Truijen at MBAETZ

Soft earth tones, warm cognac colours or nostalgic shades of gray characterize the noble color landscape of Ellen Truijen bag collections for both men and women. The Dutch designer pleasantly surprises us each and every season, with new leather blends, tonalities and shapes. The visuals are always exclusively natural, but for everyday use. The lovingly produced parts of this brand can be combined with very many different looks to fit into the very personal style of the wearer. These are bags that tell stories. Bags that have what it takes to become veritable favorites. And therefore they fit perfectly into the well-stocked collection at Mbaetz!

The philosophy behind Ellen Truijen

It's not that being different is put in the foreground at Ellen Trujien, but rather the courage to follow one's own path and not lose one's own standards. This means maintaining one's demands on the conditions of production, the quality of materials and the designs. If one goes this way, then quickly everything becomes different, for others too. For Ellen Truijen direct contact with the people who produce the bags is especially important, equally so is direct contact with the material suppliers. Only then can one's own standards and values be brought to life again and again.
