GESTIN — The Grape Goddess Behind the Bag

At MALNI, a bag is never just a bag. It carries a name — and every name belongs to a goddess of the vine.

GESTIN is named for Geshtinanna, the Sumerian “lady of the vine,” honoured in the world’s very first wine culture. She is the first bloom of our house: deep, sculptural, made in our grape-skin leather — the piece you reach for when you want to be seen.

Conscious luxury from Dubai, made in the UAE with responsible materials, where every colour means something. A competitor can copy a shape in a week; they cannot copy a mythology.

Discover GESTIN at marianamalni.com. Stocked at Curate, Abu Dhabi.

Obsessed with the pink — I've never seen this colour anywhere else. And somehow this tiny bag fits everything I need.

Lara — Renen MM in Pink

You can feel the hands that made it. I wanted grape skin leather — and the colour is so much richer in person than I imagined.

Selma — Gestin Serruria

This is the bag I reach for every morning. Holds my laptop, my notebook, my essentials — and looks intentional in any meeting I walk into.

Lidija — Paget Star

I never wear green and now I can't take it off. From breakfast meetings to dinner — it just works, every time.
