Eleven local designers meet this weekend at the McArthurGlen Malaga Fashion Market

The Málaga de Moda Market is opening its doors this weekend at the McArthurGlen Designer Outlet. Starting this Friday, and until next Sunday, June 1st, the venue is showcasing local talent. A total of eleven designers affiliated with the brand promoting the provincial textile sector will sell their creations thanks to this initiative, which is being held for the second consecutive year due to the agreement between the supra-municipal entity and the leading company in managing premium and luxury outlets in Europe.

The Deputy for Productive Economic Development, Esperanza González, attended the opening of this design market this morning alongside the center manager of McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Málaga, Javier Mendizábal. This unique market - under the banner of 'made in Málaga' - will be open continuously from 10 in the morning to 10 at night in a space set up next to the children's playground. During these three days, between 85,000 and 88,000 visitors are expected.

Esperanza González celebrated that the designers of Málaga de Moda have the opportunity to offer the products they make in a place as wonderful as McArthurGlen. In fact, she noted that nine designers are participating for the first time in this venue, which has changed its location from last year. She also explained that those who make purchases in this space will receive gifts from the promotional brand Málaga de Moda.

For his part, Javier Mendizábal remembered that this weekend is the first of the summer season that they are open on Sundays and therefore "a large influx of traffic is expected, with many international visitors, both from the province and from other parts of Europe such as England, France, Belgium, and even from outside the European Union." He also valued that spaces like this Market are "an unbeatable showcase" for Málaga designers to exhibit their products.

Some brands that participated last year will return this year, such as the urban fashion brand focused on men's clothing, Bumpvrs Brand, or My Little Cloud, specialized in children's fashion, with garments for both everyday and special occasions.
