MUAMUA DOLLS began on a beach in Bali in 2006. Ludovica Virga their creative mind, decided to produce crocheted dolls made by the island's inhabitants who, after the tsunami in Indonesia in 2004, were left without work due to the tourism deficit. In 2009 her designs escalated to cult status when Karl Lagerfeld received a MUAMUA doll as a gift and began a collaboration with the brand.
The crochet doll family continues to grow with new characters including Anna Wintour, Coco Chanel, Franca Sozzani, Lady Gaga and many others added. Today Virga’s range also includes ready-to-wear and accessories.

It’s founder, Martina Grasselli studied at Duperré Fashion School in Paris before working with Stella McCartney, Jean Paul Gaultier and Christian Louboutin. Lending the opulence of jewellery to elevated brogues, sneakers and sandals crafted to the highest quality, Grasselli’s directional designs retain their jewellery influence, with studs, pearls and metallic ring embellishments.

Kayu’s bags are carefully handcrafted by women in the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia, preserving their indigenous crafts as well as providing them with a living wage Kayu’s well-made, creative designs would stand out in a club (or at a black tie event).
