The Olive Bag is not just an accessory—it’s a piece of art born from the heart of Portuguese craftsmanship. Graça, a leather artisan with over 40 years of experience, crafted a beautiful deep green leather that had been forgotten among remnants of unused luxury materials. With her skilled hands and a deep commitment to quality, she transformed this overlooked piece into the Olive Bag—a symbol of second chances, sustainability, and elegance.
“Olive is a celebration of the craftsmanship and sustainability that Ownever stands for,” says Eliana Barros, the founder of Ownever. “We believe in creating pieces that last a lifetime, and Olive is no exception. It’s more than just a bag; it’s a companion built for forever.”
The Olive Bag is crafted from repurposed leather originally destined for high-end collections, now given a new life in a design that reflects timeless elegance. In line with Ownever’s philosophy, the brand launches very few new bags each year. “We believe people don’t need a new bag every season—they need to cherish and take care of the ones they already have,” adds Barros. Each Ownever bag, including Olive, is crafted to be a lasting investment, reducing unnecessary consumption and encouraging mindful ownership.
Each Olive Bag comes with Ownever’s signature repair service, ensuring that it remains as beautiful as the day it was first carried.
The Olive Bag is an everyday companion that blends functionality with elegance. Each stitch reflects the skill and dedication of artisans like Graça, and each detail tells a story of care and precision. With Ownever’s philosophy of "creating for forever," the Olive Bag is built to be cherished, repaired, and loved for years to come.

Every piece is made with the utmost care, using repurposed materials, and designed to be cherished across generations.
