After decades of dressing cinema and couture, Manish Malhotra turns storytellerin-chief to handbags, where glamour, craft, and drama are carried, not worn
After more than three decades of shaping fashion and cinema, Manish Malhotra unveiled his first dedicated handbag collection. The couturier introduced his newest vertical with a special preview at Selfridges & Co. in London early last month. Each piece evokes the house's core values of timeless glamour and a cinematic allure whether it is The Noor clutch which is bijoux inspired and reflects the house's artistry or The Showstopper bag which is informed by the lehenga translating its movement and detailing into a statement accessory.
