I came across this website and decided to take a look around since my sister's birthday was approaching and she loves purses. She gets everyone something purse-related on holidays. Once I saw the Rise and Slay purse, I knew it was perfect for her (and of course I needed one). I just gave it to her yesterday and She Loved It! She suggested we get all of the women in our family together. The Personalization took her over the top. I can't wait to share with her that there is a matching wallet. :)

From the day I received my notification that my bag was going to be delivered problems arose, unfortunately, it did not show up, so I wrote three days after the delivery date and was told to look around the neighborhood or ask the post office, I replied to the company, that the said date of delivery was a Sunday and nothing had been found or seen, they quickly wrote back and said they would investigate. 24-48 hours later I received notification that my package was in route, finally my wallet showed up (zipper damaged) and 24 hours later the bag showed up. This has been an awful experience for the price of this bag and the fact it has damage, I was told to send a video of the zippered part or apply moisturizing cream to it, this does not sit well with me but you live and you learn.

It is one of the most beautiful things I have ever bought I knew that it was nice when I saw someone with it but I still couldn’t believe just how magnificent it is thank you for caring enough about me and black women like me to make this

This is my 3rd purchase from this company. I am very impressed by the quality of the bags, the detail, and the ability to personalize. The cost is also a plus. I would recommend this company for the fact that it is Black Owned and the quality of the products that are sold. Will be making more purchases for family and friends throughout the year!!

I love my new bag and wallet, it’s so cute and I can’t wait to wear it tomorrow.

I like that this company is transparent about shipping time and very hands on. I’ve received updates via email several times and I was pleasantly surprised to receive part of one of my orders sooner than expected. My bag is beautifully crafted and I hope to have many more. Thank you for the care and time spent to make this an experience for me. I’ve received multiple compliments already and haven’t left my home.😊

I loved how I was kept informed on my purchase. When I got it I was surprised as it is just like the photos on the website. The bag is beautifully made. I love this. It will be a great addition to my wardrobe. I look forward to receiving my matching wallet as well. This was a well worth the wait purchase.

As part of my birthday tradition, I always treat myself to a new pair of shoes and a handbag. This year, my birthday coincided with the economic blackout, which gave me a perfect opportunity to reconsider where I spend my money. In the past, I would typically lean toward luxury brands, but this time I decided to support Black-owned businesses, and I’m so glad I chose to go with Melanista. I purchased the Rise & Slay - "Kisanii" Graffiti Small Crossbody Satchel, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. The craftsmanship is exceptional, and it truly stands out. The graffiti-inspired design is bold yet chic, making it a perfect balance between edgy and sophisticated. The satchel itself is the perfect size – not too big, not too small – and is just right for carrying my essentials. The material feels luxurious, and the attention to detail in the stitching and hardware is top-notch. What really made this purchase feel like a win was the bonus matching wallet that came free with the bag. It’s such a lovely touch and ties the whole set together perfectly. The wallet is just as well-made, with plenty of space for cards, cash, and even a little coin pocket. It's sleek and compact, making it both practical and stylish. Overall, I’m beyond pleased with my decision to support Melanista. Not only did I get a high-quality product, but I also feel great knowing I’m supporting a Black-owned business. The Rise & Slay - "Kisanii" Graffiti Satchel is now my new go-to accessory, and I’ll definitely be looking to Melanista for future purchases. Highly recommend!
