About

Talaya Champion is a Los Angeles native living and designing in Birmingham, AL. As a wife, mom, Latina and breast cancer survivor, she knows that everything has meaning, even the bag you wear and the purchases you make.
In August of 2017, she launched Elidia the Label. Named after her grandmother, who was also a fashion designer and her biggest style inspiration growing up, Elidia is a complete representation of her personal style, and an answer to what she felt was lacking in the handmade leather world. Elidia is a mix of minimalism, high fashion, utilitarian, with the occasional edgy twist.
Her aim is to always keep fashion in the forefront while making sure to keep the impact on mother earth minimal. Each design also keeps function and wearability in mind with the goal always being that each piece becomes a vital part of your wardrobe, inspiring us to “Do More with Less.”
Elidia the Label believes that style should be bold but functional, elevated but not fussy and most importantly, well made.
We always use high quality genuine leather and high quality hardware. Each piece is handmade by Talaya in her sewing studio in Birmingham, AL.
