Made by hand. Made with heart.
Every Mala kaftan is made by a small community of skilled artisans in Thailand: family members, neighbours, and trusted makers who have been sewing together for years. We pay fairly, work slowly, and believe that when the people making your clothes are thriving, you can feel it in every stitch.
So soft and buttery! It is breathable and lightweight. Perfect for hot days! Love the dress! I will be buying more!

MALAHANDWORKS has beautiful and comfortable kaftans. I ordered several kaftans and I'm extremely happy with each one. And I especially like that several of the kaftans have different choice of lengths, so I don't need to have them altered. I'm a returning customer and will continue to purchase from this shop.

I love a kaftan but all kaftans are not created equal! These are one of the better kaftans I have purchased over the years. I wash everything before I wear it, and sometimes a kaftan will show it’s quality before I can even wear it. These two came out beautifully, even softer than before. They both had all my favorite things about a kaftan: perfect amount of “space,” but not too big (I want it to be slightly oversized, not drowning me in fabric), not too long (I am 5’4” and I usually have to hem them- not with these!) and the patterns and colors are amazing. I will absolutely be purchasing again! And, finally, they arrived within a week, which was about a week faster than I was expecting! Great product all around!!

Soft fabric, not see-through. I find a random pattern like this helps avoid see-through. Hemmed to perfection.

So happy with my purchase of this caftan! The colors are vibrant and beautiful, the fabric is super soft, it drapes well and hangs really nice on the body. I'm 5'7'' and when barefoot, the corners of the 55" dress just skim the floor.

Very nice item. It's a little long, but otherwise fits great. In the future I would order a shorter item. Fabric feel is great. I just love rayon!

Not to be ghoulish, but I needed burial clothing for my partner and me for green burial. This means no plastic of any sort, even threads. I am exceedingly happy with the kaftans; they are well made and also lovely. It took quite a bit of reseach and I am SO GLAD I found Mala.
