Jill Fraser founded Jill Milan in 2010 with her partner, Milan Lazich, after years of searching for a luxurious, leather-free handbag.

Each bag exudes taste and is made in Italy by artisans who have a heritage of crafting the best luxury accessories in the world. Bags are sewn by hand and the metalwork on Jill Milan’s bags are handmade.  The handbags and accessories are made from natural, luxurious materials such as velvets, ultrasuedes and buttery-soft faux leathers.

How do you know you’re on the right track? When your line is featured in W magazine! The Art Deco Clutch was named to W magazine’s “Most Wanted” feature in the publication’s April 2012 issue: “Who needs jewelry when you’re carrying a Jill Milan Art Deco clutch? Made entirely by hand in Florence by one of Europe’s most prestigious jewelers, it’s somewhere between an oversize cigarette case and an exquisite work of art – and there are currently only 20 of them in the world.”
