MADE FOR YOU, IN THE RHYTHM OF THE ATLANTIC
First created in 2018, Shella is one of HEIMAT ATLANTICA’s most emblematic and sought-after pieces.
The medium Shella bag, part of our exclusive Valentine’s Day edition, captures the enchanting allure of the ocean in a perfectly balanced size. Handwoven from natural reed by our Portuguese artisans, it is adorned with delicate hand-embroidered shell flowers, each accented with freshwater pearls that sway gently like treasures in a mermaid’s trove.
At its heart lies the elusive pink Atlantic Margarita shell, one of the ocean’s most coveted treasures. Our artisans spend hours walking the beaches and searching through what the tide leaves behind, carefully selecting each shell by hand. They are not always available, making every Shella naturally limited and entirely unique.
Approximately 36 hours of craftsmanship and four weeks of creation are required to complete each bag. No two are ever exactly alike.
A singular piece shaped by the Atlantic, generations of knowledge and time—created to accompany you through many summers.
Made between Portugal and Galicia.
Handwoven natural reed.
Spanish leather.
Natural shell flowers embroidered by hand.
Approximately four weeks to create.
Limited by nature and craft.
Let the Shella Medium take you on a journey where elegance meets the poetry of the sea, a piece to cherish forever.

WHAT STAND FOR BEHIND YOUR PURCHASE
TRYNG TO INVENT WHILE SAVING WHAT IS GOOD AND BEAUTIFUL IN THE WORLD, TAKING AS THE STARTING POINT LOCAL TRADITIONS
My name is Montserrat, I founded HEIMAT ATLANTICA in 2016 when I was living in Paris. HEIMAT is a German word that denotes the special bond a human being has with their origins. After living abroad for more than 15 years, I felt a deep need of communicating about my local identity and share this incredible crafts with the world.
HEIMAT ATLANTICA is not just about creating a label, it is a project related with BEING AN ENTREPRENEUR: from my point of view, fashion must have a social & cultural responsability. Thus, HEIMAT ATLANTICA was born with the aim to PROTECT AND VALORIZE the beautiful popular crafts from the Atlantic coast, Spain and Portugal, working in a direct and closest way with the artisans in order to create a REAL VALUE for them.
With your purchase you are participating to the creation of a market for our crafts and giving value to the 36 hours that takes to make an Heimat bag.
Thank you for being part of my comunity and for helping me to achive my mission.
PURE LUCK, THE MAGIC OF OUR BAGS
THE BAG TO FIND LOVE
In 2016, I designed and made the bag for myself, it came up in a very intuitive way; I wanted a talisman to help me find TRUE LOVE and then people stopped me on the streets in Paris to ask where I had bought it.
The porcelain embellishments are lucky charms that serve different purposes: protection of happiness, material possessions, honor, love … In that sense whether you believe in Magic or not, these charms have a universal significance.
