'Misala,' is a brand that makes animal bags, created by married couple Michelle and Stanford. After the pair moved together to Dubai, Michelle found adapting to life there to be difficult. As a way of coping with the culture shock, she decided to return to a childhood hobby: creating handmade crafts and designs. She started to create beautiful and colourful purses with a wide selection of shapes. The main concept behind her project is "to explore the many possibilities of kisslock purse frames."
Thanks to the life changes the couple have made, others can now enjoy Misala's quirky purses -- if you feel like keeping your money or phone inside a fox, penguin, hedgehog or the belly of a whale, Misala makes it possible.
