The Story Behind Our Greek Handcrafted Bags

The Story Behind Our Greek Handcrafted Bags

At Mythos and Muse, every bag we bring to life carries the essence of Greece — its sunlit islands, timeless craftsmanship, and deep connection to heritage. Each piece is more than an accessory; it’s a story woven, stitched, and shaped by skilled hands, celebrating beauty with meaning.

The Juco Collection – Inspired by Greek Symbols

Our juco bags are handcrafted in Greece using natural jute and cotton blends, combining sustainability with style. Each one is adorned with motifs that carry cultural significance — the mati (evil eye), a symbol of protection, and the meander, representing infinity and unity. From clutch bags and mini totes to beach bags and handbags, this collection offers versatile pieces that effortlessly blend everyday function with Greek symbolism. Whether you’re wandering through local markets or enjoying a coastal escape, a juco bag from Mythos and Muse brings a touch of Greece wherever you go.

Rizes of Crete – Woven with Heritage

From the heart of Crete comes the Rizes collection — an ode to the island’s deep-rooted craft traditions. Each pouch and handbag is made from woven materials that reflect the warmth of Mediterranean textures and patterns. These designs honour the rhythm of life in Crete, where craftsmanship is a legacy passed down through generations. Soft, earthy, and full of character, these bags capture the true essence of artisanal Greek design.

Misirlou – The Elegance of Evening

When the sun sets and the night calls for something refined, our Misirlou bags rise to the occasion. Crafted from velvety suede, the Eros and Kallos collections capture the grace of Greek evenings — sleek, sophisticated, and effortlessly timeless. Each piece speaks to the beauty of Greek femininity — elegant, confident, and effortlessly graceful. These handbags are made for evenings out, adding a soft glow of glamour to your look while keeping the spirit of Greek artistry close to your heart.

A Celebration of Greek Craftsmanship

To carry a Mythos and Muse bag is to carry a piece of Greece. Behind every design lies the dedication of artisans who honour their traditions while creating for the modern world. Our bags are made with intention, inspired by the land, and filled with soul.
