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.

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. 

Background Established on the runways of Fiji Fashion Week 2009, the company’s brand has remained true to its aesthetics in fashion design and sustainable product adaptation reflecting UN SDG’s #1-Eradication of Poverty by providing employment to women in squatter settlements, making them financially independent to make wise choices- SDG#5-Gender Equality, #12 on Sustainable Consumption & Production.
