Sarah Holmes — Creative Director & Designer

Growing up in a family of artists meant Sarah was surrounded by art in the family home. From a young age she was encouraged to explore different avenues of her own creativity. Sarah dabbled in the world of fashion for many years before she happened upon a part-time jewelry course on ring making. Her passion had been ignited, and she has never looked back. Sarah was proud to have her work featured in UK’s GQ, Glamour and Brides magazine.

Sarah designs and creates pieces that are delicate and timeless. Each product in her line has its own understated elegance. The collections are thoughtfully designed and meticulously crafted to highlight the natural beauty of the gemstones and materials. Sarah is committed to using only high-quality materials, ensuring that each collection is unique but also stands the test of time. 

Maleia is about bringing the fine details and quality of craftsmanship together with Sarah's love of gemstones. Her style is elegantly simple. Because it's the simple things in life which can have the greatest impact on how we feel. "The better you feel, the more you shine".

Our exclusive handbag line has two small collections launching on our website each year. We are working in smaller indigenous communities in Mexico, where our fabric is woven, our pieces are embroidered and our designs tailored by our beautiful team.
