Bags & purses

The Bags and Pouches category features creations designed and crafted by Malam in an independent French workshop. Each bag is conceived as both a functional object and a statement piece, designed to accompany everyday life with character.

The collection includes tote bags, made in leather or textile, as well as handbags, most often worn crossbody. Designs frequently explore material combinations: leather and fabric, leather and multiple textiles, leather and canvas, or the integration of recycled materials, adding depth and individuality to each piece.

Material composition plays a central role in this category. Contrasts of color, texture and material create balanced, expressive designs where each element contributes to the overall structure. Some bags favor restraint and clarity, while others explore richer assemblies through layered textile work.

Bags and pouches are offered as small batches or one-of-a-kind designs, and depending on the model, may be in stock or made to order, with the option to select certain materials. This approach supports durability, personalization and meaningful use.

Designed to complement the clothing collections — coats, jackets, dresses or tops — Malam bags reflect a commitment to responsible, artisan-made fashion, valuing craftsmanship, material reuse and local production.
