Having always had a penchant for design and an obsession with accessories, Mogil founder and designer Gil Cowen was inspired by a trip to Bali in 2001, where her attention was taken by the extraordinary skills of local leather craftsmen. Gil soon began thinking of ways she could apply the traditional handmade aesthetic into her own designs.

Beginning life on a borrowed $1,000 as a small 10-piece range of leather handbags and belts, which Gil pieced together in the hours away from her full time job, the Mogil signature style was quickly defined and remains today what it was then – luxury leather goods executed in simple yet sophisticated styles.

It's an instantly recognisable utilitarian style met with a raw sophisticated twist that is Mogil's signature look. Featuring unique buckle applications, blended skin finishes and detailed construction, every piece becomes an instant classic.






The Mogil Girl loves leather. Her look is pretty punk. She wears metallics clashed with neutrals. She contrasts multi-buckled belts with don’t care slouch bags to the side. She is ready for anything. Lives life to the full and is probably a traveller and always a dreamer. She is positive. She works hard.

By day she tricks up her 9 to 5 wear with a brightly coloured slouch bag and double tied, killer heeled boots. By the weekend she might be vintage influenced, carrying a spliced leather clutch mixed with plaited gladiator sandals. The key is always about contrast and the unexpected.

With what is set to be their best collection to date, Mogil Winter is about challenging not only your perception of proportions, but also of what is. Anything but ordinary, blending what is, what is yet to be, and what was. Are you ready to play the Mogil game?

Think bags so big you can even take your pet, and boots so high you need not wear anything else. They are no longer just a statement, but the outfit itself. Mogil is introducing stunning graphic prints so dramatic, that they could not resist but extend the look to silk scarves.
