Neither!; ‘Pray more, worry less’; ‘Life is a journey’… Inspiration comes from everyday life, she admits. Meet Marigona Milazimi Azimi or, simply, Magi, a successful 27-years old bag designer from Pristina. An interview with Magi was conducted remotely, bearing in mind the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
How and when did you start designing bags?
I’ve always liked crafts and unique things. I got that from my mother because she used to do a lot of crafts and arts. Actually, she is still making them. I’ve started making bags a year ago. This idea came from the love I have for unique bags and also for bags made out of environmentally-friendly materials. I’ve received plenty of support to do this from my husband, who is also one of my best friends.
Is designing bags your hobby or job?
Bags are my passion that I’ve turned into a small business, but I also have a regular job. I work in Human Resources at an financial institution.
