About us

Our Story

Where attitude meets artistry.

Mood Muse was born out of a love for timeless style with an edge. I started this brand as a creative outlet,  a space to design pieces that don’t just complement a look, but define a mood.

Inspired by iconic muses throughout history, Mood Muse is where confidence meets craft. Every piece is handmade in Indonesia using genuine leather and luxe suede, designed to feel effortless yet unforgettable. From studded slouch bags to structured statement pieces, each design carries its own attitude,  just like the women who wear them.

What began as a passion project has evolved into something bigger: a platform to empower others to embrace their boldness, express their individuality, and embody main character energy- every damn day.

This is more than fashion. It’s a movement.

Wear the mood. Be the muse.

Our Mission

Mood Muse exists to inspire confidence, creativity, and self expression. We believe in crafting pieces that feel personal, like a second skin and are designed to move with you through every season of life. Our mission is to empower women to step into their mood, own their moment, and do it with style that speaks before they do.

 

What Sets Us Apart

Every piece is thoughtfully designed with intention and attitude, blending edgy silhouettes, luxe textures, and a “less is more” aesthetic that still makes a statement. We don't chase trends, we design for the muse who sets them. With a focus on quality over quantity, our collections are made to last and made to stand out.


Meet the Muses

Mood Muse is inspired by the women who’ve always led with style, not noise. The ones who turned heads without asking for attention. Who wore what they wanted, when they wanted and made it iconic.

Each Mood Muse piece is named after a timeless muse not just for their fashion, but for their energy. Their attitude. Their ability to shift a room without saying a word.


The Kate

Cool, undone, effortless.

Inspired by Kate Moss, this slouchy, studded silhouette is a nod to off-duty icons. She’s soft, bold, and doesn’t need approval.


The Bridgette

Structured, striking, confident.

Inspired by Brigitte Bardot, this sculpted tote is a modern take on quiet glamour. She’s sharp, polished, and impossible to ignore.

More muses will come. Each one with her own edge.

But every Mood Muse piece is designed with the same intent:

To be carried with confidence, and worn without apology.

Our Mood Muse bags are designed to be as bold and timeless. Each piece is handcrafted in limited quantities using premium genuine leather, once they’re gone, they’re gone for good. We don’t do restocks, so if you’ve got your eye on one, now’s the time to claim it. These are forever pieces, made for those who don’t follow trends they set them.

Product Care Instructions

Mood Muse pieces are designed with love and built to last, but like all elevated accessories, they deserve thoughtful care.

To keep your bag looking its best:

• Gently blot clean with a soft, damp cloth

• Avoid getting the bag wet, especially the hardware

• Store in its dust bag when not in use

• Keep out of direct sunlight and away from heat or humidity

• Avoid contact with oils, perfumes, or harsh chemicals

Please note: The rivets and hardware on our bags are delicate and may tarnish over time, especially if exposed to water or moisture. To maintain their original finish, avoid getting them wet and always store your bag in a cool, dry place.

Are your bags made from genuine leather?

Yes, all Mood Muse bags are crafted from premium, genuine leather. We select high-quality materials that are intentionally soft and natural to create that effortless, lived-in luxury feel.

Why does my bag look slightly different to the one pictured?

Each Mood Muse piece is unique. Due to the natural qualities of leather and suede, slight variations in colour, grain, and texture are normal and to be expected. These differences aren’t flaws. They’re part of the bag’s character and individuality.

My bag has suede or raw leather detailing. Why does it feel/look different?

We love mixing textures, and many of our styles feature suede or raw-edged leather. These materials are more porous and can show natural variations or markings. Again, this is part of their charm and not considered a fault.

There’s a mark / light scuff / small imperfection- is this a defect?

No, slight markings, subtle creasing, or soft scuffs can naturally occur during the production process or in transit. We inspect every piece carefully to ensure it meets our quality standards, but please know: Mood Muse bags are not mass-produced or overly treated. Small quirks are part of what make each one unique.

Can colour transfer onto or from my bag?

Yes, Due to the soft, untreated nature of our leathers (especially lighter tones), colour transfer is possible both to and from your bag. Please take care when wearing with dark denim or dyed clothing, and avoid resting your bag on coloured fabrics or printed materials for extended periods.

I wiped my bag and the colour came off- is that normal?

It can happen, especially with light-coloured or delicately finished leather. These bags aren’t heavily sealed or coated in plastic, that’s part of their luxury feel. To avoid this, always blot gently and use a clean, dry cloth. We recommend consulting a leather care specialist before attempting any cleaning.

How should I care for my bag?

Avoid overfilling, which can distort the shape

• Store in its dust bag when not in use

• Keep away from oils, perfumes, and harsh chemicals

• Use a soft, dry cloth to spot clean — never scrub

• Be mindful around water, dark clothing, and ink (as these can mark or stain)

Do you accept returns for minor marks or texture variations?

Due to the natural materials used and the artisanal nature of our products, returns will not be accepted for minor variations in leather, suede, stitching, or finish that are within our quality standards. Please read our product descriptions and care notes carefully before purchasing.

Can I return or exchange a used item?

Unfortunately, we do not accept returns on used or worn bags. To be eligible for a return, the item must be unused, in original condition, and returned in its original packaging within our return window. For full return details, please refer to our Returns Policy.
