Brand Spotlight | DESIREE

The name DESIREE is swiftly gaining ground within the local fashion industry; and with good reason! I had blogged about Desiree and her designs on shoes and bags after I was introduced to her work during this year's edition of the Mercedes-Benz Malta Fashion Week & Awards. You can check out that post here.

Fast forward a few months, and the extremely talented interior-designer-turned-fashion-designer has opened a shop on St.Mary's Street in Sliema. I had the pleasure of visiting the bubbly Desiree with my friend Marija from Pocalocca and we were head over heels in love with her new collection of clutch bags as soon as we stepped inside her shop!

Myself, Marija and Desiree :)

First things first - the shop is a haven for interior design aficionados which is understandable as Deisree is an interior designer by profession. The mix of old and modern features along with Desiree's own personal touch really give the little shop a warm feel :)

Her latest collection, it consists of clutch bags adorned with hand-painted paisley prints as well as 4 one-off lip shaped handbags with powerful motivational slogans. My favourite pieces have got to be the black satin bag with turquoise paisley print, the transparent acrylic ones and the 'One Life Live It!' slogan lip bag.




All of Desiree's designs are of course hand painted, which is in fact what makes every piece unique and besides her own collection of shoe and bag designs, she is also open to customer requests for customisation. I especially love her cushion designs and look forward to having a couple in my own place!

Desiree also stocks floral tiaras designed by La Fleur which will make lovely statement pieces to complement your outfits :)

Apparently I was in the mood for turquoise on the day!

Desiree has also just showcased her latest collection at Serbia Fashion Week 2016 thanks to a collaboration with Malta Fashion Week. I truly wish this gorgeous human being the best of luck with her work and owning a piece or two will definitely take your love for shoes and bags to whole other level!


Desiree is located at St.Mary's Street in Sliema (just down the road from Soap Cafe'), do pay her a visit, I promise you won't regret it ;)
