Ames

Greek bag label by designer Lia Manjorou, made in Greece with Greek fabrics.

Ames the bags is a Greek bag label founded by designer Lia Manjorou, who grew up in her mother's fashion business before launching her own line. The brand makes its pieces in Greece using Greek fabrics, drawing on the country's design vocabulary in both materials and references.

The signature of the house is the meander, the ancient Greek decorative motif of a continuous line bent into a repeated pattern, also known as the Greek key. Most bag styles take their names from Greek words such as Theros, Nostos, Olyfos and Kyros, and many incorporate the labyrinth pattern in hardware, printed canvas or 3D embroidery.

The catalogue covers leather and canvas bags for women and men, including backpacks, totes, shoulder and cross-body bags, clutches, belt bags, travel bags and wallets, with current pricing between 170 and 555 euros. Ames the bags is sold through its online store, the related Lia Manjorou ready-to-wear brand, and a network of independent retailers across Greece, Cyprus, Germany, the United States and South Africa.
