Milan Palma
Designer
Hilversum, 1974

After years of working at G-Star, Milan Palma decided to set up his own bag brand and, in addition to designing, also producing these in his own studio in the city of Maastricht. “Up until this day, I see my work worn worldwide; I am proud of G-star, a true Dutch brand.” Nowadays, Milan can add something to that: “People wearing a real Milan Palma bag, how cool is that!” He describes his style as clean, modern, graphic, but with a rad edge.   

Milan studied at the Grafisch Lyceum in Amsterdam and in addition to his work for G-Star he followed various courses in management and presenting. The most of his knowledge he thanks to his years of work experience; “Growing is a skill itself, I’m just getting what’s coming to me, I keep on learning (…) and pick up the nice and beautiful things that come my way”

Currently Milan shares a studio and store with Lena Berens in the inner city of Maastricht.
