Background

Malia's founder and lead designer Natalia Bentley Larsen was born and raised in the Fiji Islands. Growing up on an island has instilled an innate sense of easy-going fun and tropical flair- all of which you will see in every piece in the Malia range. Malia takes on the traditional prints and reinvents that "Bula" look to suit the modern island guy or girl. Inspired by the colours and beauty of Fiji and the South Pacific, all prints and pieces are lovingly designed to be worn and enjoyed for any occasion. Their pieces are "Made in Paradise by Friendly Fijians” and then transported to homes of the style-conscious who are looking for a fun wearable piece of island attire. Their fabric is of the highest quality and they can cater to all sizes from size 8 through to size 20 in most styles.

The Malia brand was created to help give people the opportunity to buy, wear and enjoy modern tropical island attire. The idea for Malia came to mind when on holiday in Hawaii, where boutiques had challenged the norm and came up with fresh ways to wear iconic tropical outfits. The name "Malia" is Polynesian, meaning' calm or gentle waters'. The logo is flirty, fresh, and has an innate island vibe. The colour pink was chosen as it links to their founder's mother's battle with cancer. It was used as a reminder of the battle and hope for the future.
