About Violet May
Violet May designs & manufactures beautiful lifestyle accessories for women that are both functional and fashion led. Founded by Claire Collins, a successful British business woman who believed she could not be the only one looking for glamourous accessories to carry her technology the Violet May range began with a white leather laptop case with a silk taffeta strap. The range now includes glamorous laptop cases, laptop sleeves, document wallets, Blackberry iPhone purses and business/oyster card holders. Recent additions include attaché cases, computer clutches and luggage with a twist.
Our philosophy is that we are committed to quality and product innovation- each product is hand crafted at a leather goods atelier in Spain & we frequently hold focus groups with fabulous women to develop our range.
Our products aim to be outstandingly beautiful, exceptionally useful and fashionably forward.

Violet May Craftsmanship
Violet May products are original designs and are handcrafted in Spain. Each product is made from end to end by one craftsman using traditional techniques that have been in use for over 100 years. Violet May manufactures in Europe to leverage both the leather goods heritage and a close working relationship with their supply chain. The atelier in Spain is a small family run operation that has produced goods for many of the top European luxury brands. We believe that people care about the origin of their products and we can vouch for the story behind ours.
