Veyra Weekly – Vol. 29
This week, Veyra Weekly spotlights two designers rethinking accessories through structure, volume, and sculptural form — the architectural pleating of Maleus and the distorted, gravity-driven headwear of LiaGabrielle.
Maleus – Memory Bag
Maleus approaches utility through architectural restraint, and their Memory Bag exemplifies this philosophy. Crafted from 100% black cotton bull denim, the bag is defined by a system of vertical inverted pleats that allow the form to expand naturally as it’s filled.
When empty, the pleats collapse inward, preserving a clean, minimal silhouette. As volume increases, the structure opens organically turning capacity into a visible design feature rather than something hidden.
Subtle graphic touches come through white embroidered dotted details on the straps and a matching embroidered dotted logo on the front panel, offering a restrained visual signature that balances intention with function.
The bag includes dual carry handles, elongated shoulder straps, and a fully lined interior. Each piece is made to order in the Maleus atelier, allowing for careful construction and finishing, with every bag produced individually.

LiaGabrielle – Paperboy Hat
LiaGabrielle operates in the space between fashion and sculpture, and their Paperboy Hat reads as wearable art more than traditional headwear.
While it retains the basic elements of a cap crown and brim both are intentionally distorted. The crown is oversized and collapsed into sharp, architectural folds, creating a “melted” silhouette that feels fluid and gravity-driven rather than structured.
The brim blends seamlessly into the body of the hat, constructed from the same soft, pliable material, allowing the entire piece to behave as one continuous form. Volume replaces fit, and utility gives way to expression.
Rather than serving as a conventional accessory, the Paperboy Hat functions as a statement object challenging expectations of proportion while embracing imperfection, weight, and drape.
