ELT collective is a Nashville­ based fashion design company that specializes in all-purpose, contemporary leather handbags. Designer and Nashville Native, Erin Leigh Thompson, believes that your handbag should be purposeful.

Each bag is inspired by timeless forms with minimal style. The intention of each object we create is to omit the excessive and magnify the essential.

Each bag is handmade and lined with a sewn­ in wallet, allowing users to access credit cards at their fingertips, without compromising space. We use the finest grained Italian leathers - soft to the touch, yet built to last.

Manufacturing

All bags are hand sewn in small batches. We have the upmost attention to detail and quality when it comes to producing each individual bag. 

Leather

The leather is of the highest quality - full grain Italian cow leather. The quality of this leather is so great, it can also be used for upholstery.

All-Purpose

All bags are made with a sewn-in wallet. The Woodland converts from a backpack to an over-the-shoulder bag and The Norma Jean converts from an over-the-shoulder bag to a clutch.
