What Elleme is known for

Elleme was founded in 2015 by Jingjing Fan, a Chinese designer based in Paris; the brand's name derives from the French phrase 'elle aime' ('she likes'). Fan studied political science at Sciences Po rather than formal design, and worked in Hong Kong before launching her own label. Elleme is known for handbag styles including the Baozi bag (named for the Chinese steamed dumpling its rounded shape references) and the Vague bag. The bags are manufactured in Italy. The label has been worn publicly by figures including Beyonce and is stocked at more than 65 stores internationally, including Selfridges and Harvey Nichols, as well as through Printemps in Paris.
