Designer Malini Agarwalla launched her label Malaga in 2004 just out of her passion to create beautiful fashion accessories. Malini academically holds a Master Degree in Management Studies specializing in Finance but her dream was to create handbags, footwear, belts and accessories for the contemporary women to showcase the wealth of art and craft in the country and yet reflect international trends. Over the time Malini forayed successfully into pret wear with her line Pimento.
The Mumbai based designer started her company as a manufacturer of quality handbags to fulfill the demanding and continuously evolving taste of the women of today. Bringing her artistic and design skills to the fore, combining élan, panache, and different styles, she was determined to make her bags affordable reflective not only of the rich cultural heritage of her native India, but also of all the exotic visuals she encountered in her travels all over the world.
Malaga specializes in carefully handcrafted bags, belts, footwear and fashion jewellery of a wide range and design for women with both traditional and contemporary tastes. Rich embellishments of jeweled pieces, swarovski crystals, embroidery, beadwork and zardosi (gold threadwork) are interwoven with use of materials such as fibre, leather and various fabrics (silk, brocade, jute, linen, denim, velvet, cotton etc.) to create a stunning array of formal and casual line of accessories for women.
Malaga bags have also been shown in accessories shows and trade fairs in Paris, Milan, London, and Dubai and met with a great response. Malaga bags are exported to Europe, UK, the Far East, USA, Japan, the Mid East and Africa. In India, Malini retails from her stores in Delhi and Mumbai.
