Zelda designs

Zelda designs is a Maltese brand creating handcrafted jewellery and accessories that merge textile craftsmanship with contemporary design. Each piece is individually constructed using developed hand techniques, combining fibres, metals and embellishments into sculptural compositions. Rooted in slow-fashion principles, the brand values intentional making, durability and individuality over mass production. Its collections reinterpret familiar textile processes through a modern design language, transforming materials into distinctive wearable objects that celebrate craftsmanship, personal expression and the evolving dialogue between heritage and contemporary design.

James Dimech is a Maltese paper artist and designer whose practice intersects sculpture, fashion, architecture and craftsmanship. Following three decades in interior architecture, he began exploring paper as an artistic medium in 2016. Through folding, pleating, manipulation and unconventional construction techniques, James transforms this fragile material into complex sculptural forms. His work has been exhibited internationally and recognised through several awards, including the Lucca Biennale Cartasia Achievement Award. Alongside his artistic practice, he teaches paper manipulation, sharing and developing the craftsmanship at the heart of his work.
