About DELA ÉVA | Handcrafted Handbag Designer London | Ninja D. Evangelista

DELA ÉVA is a London-based handmade handbag and accessory label created by Austrian-Filipina designer Ninja D. Evangelista. The brand transforms handbags and accessories into vessels for storytelling, drawing inspiration from classic art masterpieces, ancient goddess heirlooms, the golden drama of the Viennese Opera, and folklore. Each DELA ÉVA piece carries its own tale, ready to become part of the wearer’s story.

Each DELA ÉVA piece is handcrafted in our central London atelier with exceptional attention to detail and produced in strictly limited quantities, ensuring rarity, individuality, and a sense of treasured exclusivity. Rather than following the traditional fashion calendar, we release collections when they are ready, allowing the creative process to unfold naturally without seasonal pressure. This gives us the freedom to focus on timeless pieces designed to be worn and cherished in any season. Using carefully selected materials and a considered approach to construction, the brand reflects a commitment to slow fashion, lasting quality, and enduring elegance.

Founded by Ninja D. Evangelista, a London-based Austrian-Filipina fashion accessory designer, DELA ÉVA is rooted in a rich creative background. She studied Fashion Cordwainer Accessory Design and earned a Master’s degree in Fashion Artefact from London College of Fashion, alongside postgraduate degrees in Art History. During her studies, she completed an internship with Vivienne Westwood. Alongside designing, she has also worked as a freelance UK Fashion Editor and Correspondent for the London bureau of Burda Media, covering for German ELLE, InStyle, Burda Style, and Freundin Magazin.
