DESIGN STORY

Inspired by the Italian Way of Life

Bella Italia celebrates colour, conviviality and the effortless elegance of Mediterranean life.

A rich green nubuck playing field is accented with red and cream leather points, creating a distinctive composition inspired by Italy while remaining unmistakably MELIA.

Brown and cream wooden checkers with subtle gold detailing introduce warmth and balance to the vibrant playing field.

From long summer evenings and relaxed lunches to journeys along the Mediterranean coast, Bella Italia transforms the timeless game of backgammon into a celebration of playing, travelling and spending time together.

CRAFTSMANSHIP

Soft to the Touch, Built to Travel

Luxury should never stay at home.

The flexible leather board rolls effortlessly into its compact carrying form, transforming a complete backgammon set into an elegant travel companion within seconds.

Each of the 24 playing points is individually stitched onto the leather board, creating the distinctive tactile character of the MELIA Roll-Up Backgammon Collection.

The wooden checkers, dice and doubling cube are stored within the integrated leather storage roll, keeping the complete game together wherever your journey takes you.

Traditional Craftsmanship – Reimagined for Modern Travel

A roll-up backgammon board appears simple. Creating one that lies beautifully during play while remaining flexible enough to travel requires precision.

The thickness of the leather, the construction of the playing field and the placement of every stitched point are carefully balanced to create a board that feels substantial on the table yet rolls effortlessly when the game is finished.

The result is a genuine leather backgammon set that combines traditional craftsmanship with a form created for modern life.

The Leather

Bella Italia is crafted from premium full-grain nubuck leather sourced from LWG Gold Certified tanneries.

Its velvety texture provides an exceptionally soft touch while maintaining the durability expected from a luxury leather backgammon set.

The rich green surface develops subtle character over time. Natural variations and the evolving surface of the nubuck make every board increasingly individual with use.

Every MELIA Roll-Up Backgammon board is individually handcrafted by experienced leather artisans using traditional techniques combined with modern precision.

CARE

Leather Care

Our premium nubuck leather is designed to age beautifully.

Store your backgammon set in a dry environment and avoid prolonged direct sunlight.

For light surface dirt, gently brush the nubuck with a clean, dry and soft brush. If deeper cleaning is required, use a high-quality care product specifically designed for nubuck leather.

With proper care, the leather will develop its own individual character while preserving the soft texture and rich green appearance that define the Bella Italia edition.
