Ally Capellino

Ally Capellino is an independent British brand founded in London in 1980 by designer Alison Lloyd. Originally established as a fashion label, the company later evolved into a specialist maker of functional bags and accessories recognised for their durability, craftsmanship, and minimalist design.

Known for its use of waxed cotton, canvas, and premium leather, Ally Capellino creates products that combine practicality with a timeless aesthetic. Rather than following seasonal trends, the brand focuses on everyday pieces designed to wear in naturally and improve with age. Its collections include backpacks, crossbody bags, totes, and travel accessories with a distinctly unisex appeal.

Closely associated with London’s creative and cycling communities, Ally Capellino has developed a reputation for thoughtful, utility-driven design and long-lasting quality. Today, Ally Capellino remains known for contemporary British accessories that balance heritage, utility, and modern design.
