We loved the idea of creating something with very simple geometry that would complement the clean lines and proportions of our other classic styles. A circle is very iconic, and we felt it fit well with our other shapes.
The circle bag in toostripe is a special capsule piece from our Maharam x Alexander Girard collection. The fabric is a reproduction of the original 60s design by Girard, therefore it is available in the original colors:

We hope you enjoy the mini lady bag - it's one of our favorites from SS16!
No plans at the moment for a mini mini in this style. We love saffiano, and would like to further explore this material, however we don't have specific plans to share at the moment!
We both personally LOVE the volume clutch - in all suede colors. We also love the moon clutch in cammello. We find the circle bags to be such beautiful objects, and both have a few lined up on our shelves at home. They're so nice to look at!
Welcome to TPF
How have you been able to keep such high quality products at such a good price point especially in today's market where quality has gone down and prices have skyrocketed? (Or that seems to be the trend for so many of our beloved brands
We started the brand with the idea that quality of material was a lost value in the market. We really wanted to make products that were high in quality but also not incredibly out of reach in terms of pricepoint. Therefore we approached the business with this mindset, and all of our choices reflected this.
Hi!! What do you think is the key on the success of your products? did you expect the sold out and do you think the same will happen with the shoes?
No plans at the moment to bring back the graffite, but well noted on your request!
Hello and thank you for doing this chat. MG has a beautiful visual world - your imagery, your Instagram , your presentations. Can you speak more about how you create that whole experience/mood for us. It is very distinct and complimentary to your product. Thank you.
We love the volume clutches in suede, and the moon clutches in cammello. For our day to day bags, at the moment Rachel is carrying the bucket bag in blu calf, and Floriana is carrying the large tote cammello silver.
We love them all, but especially love the buckets in blu. We think the mini is a great size!
It's very difficult to answer this type of question- as with many things in life, it's a large combination of different factors. However, we can tell you we didn't anticipate the initial success of the brand and feel very fortunate! We're especially thankful for the purseblog community and read the forum on a regular basis. It's such a great thing to hear feedback directly from the community.
We do not have any stockists in Hawaii at the moment, however we do ship there from our own site.
Thank you!
As we don't have a physical store yet, we think of Instagram as our platform for expressing the visual world of the brand. We love photography as a medium, and work with our friends and collaborators Tanya and Zhenya Posternak on the art direction and execution of the photo shoots. All of the content you see is shot by our team, and this is a brand initiative we are very passionate about.
