DELA ÉVA is a London-based luxury handbag and accessory label created by designer Ninja D. Evangelista. Each piece is conceived as a vessel for storytelling, inviting the wearer into a Theatre of Time and Dreams shaped by classic art masterpieces, ancient goddess heirlooms and the golden drama of the Viennese Opera. Handcrafted in the London atelier in strictly limited quantities, DELA ÉVA handbags are rare companions to be worn, cherished and ultimately passed on like treasures. The label has appeared in international titles including Vogue, ELLE, Cosmopolitan, Stylist, Fashion Times and Fashion United, recognised for its narrative-led approach to sculptural accessories.
