Behind the Brand

Aloha, 

My name is Mālie, and I am the creator of Kalā Swim. I am a proud Native Hawaiian who was born and raised on Oahu. In preschool, I was learning ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, and one word that really stuck with me was Kalā. "Kalā" means the sun in Hawaiian and eventually became my little brother's name. 

​

Each print is inspired by the Hawaiian Islands, and every fabric is made from recycled materials. I work with a manufacturing team in Bali that uses an eco-friendly solar-powered facility. I am so excited about my first collection, and greatly appreciate your support! 

​

Mahalo, 

Mālie
