Marion Fröhlich: The creative soul behind “Maru – La Palma”
On the picturesque island of La Palma, one of the gems of the Canary Islands, lives and works Marion Fröhlich, a designer whose name is inseparably linked to her brand „Maru – La Palma.“ In a world where fashion is often driven by fast trends and mass production, Marion Fröhlich takes a different approach. Her designs combine the tradition of craftsmanship with a modern, timeless style that makes her creations unique.
The origin of creativity
Marion Fröhlich’s journey into the world of design began early. Born and raised in a family that valued creativity and art, she quickly developed a passion for textiles and handicrafts. The colors and shapes of nature, which surrounded her since childhood, served as her first inspiration. But it was La Palma, the „Isla Bonita,“ that captivated her and laid the foundation for her later work.
The island of La Palma, known for its breathtaking landscapes, lush vegetation, and rich culture, is more than just Marion Fröhlich’s workplace – it is her muse. This connection to her environment is reflected in her designs, often inspired by the colors of the sea, the shapes of volcanic landscapes, and the tranquility of nature.

Available in various sizes and colors, the Blossom Bag perfectly reflects Marion Fröhlich’s ethos: elegant, functional, and artistic accessories that adapt to any situation.
