There's something particular about a good lilac. The Lyla in satin crepe gets it exactly right — soft without being sweet, and dressed-up without any effort. The satin crepe falls with a fluid weight and a subtle sheen that catches the light as you move, draping in a long, clean line from V-neck to hem.
Wear it from pool to dinner, beach to evening, or anywhere in between. One size fits most up to US 3XL.

MALA handworks shirtdress is different - quality, crinkle stitched, double gauze cotton fabric that gets so soft.
Generously sized - one size fits most - is very livable and made for wearing at home. And away from home.
Wide sleeves can be easily rolled to your favorite length, quality front buttons and two front pockets.
Lilac is the purple that softens everything around it — pale, cool, more lavender than violet. On a solid jersey it stays even and chalky-soft, the way watercolor pools when there's just enough water in the brush.
The Alice in Lilac is cut from soft jersey cotton — a stretchy, breathable knit that lounges well on the couch and looks intentional on a coffee run. Boat neckline, two pockets, no slits, and a silhouette that falls loose from the body. At 56 inches it falls at floor length or just above depending on height.
One size fits most up to US 3XL. Slipover style. First wash separately; gentle machine wash, hang dry preferred.
Soft yet substantial, our high-quality jersey cotton gives Alisa its smooth hand and structured flow. The petite-minded circumference fights closer to the body balancing ease with polish, while the V neck frames your shoulders. In cream, it’s a capsule staple. Layer over a slip, add sandals, or belt for shape. Comfort, proportion, and versatility in one.
Meet Amina, a kaftan painted by hand like a canvas. Crafted in fluid rayon, it drapes softly and moves with ease while the tan abstract pattern is brushed on in multiple steps using natural dyes. No two pieces are alike – each is created in very small quantities. Wear it loose for sculptural flow or add a belt for definition. A statement you’ll reach for from gallery nights to seaside dinners.
Easy to wear, impossible to ignore. The Amina kaftan pairs a smooth, lightweight drape with hand-painted tan striped pattern created from plant-based dyes. Subtle variations are part of the beauty, making each garment a true original. Belt it, layer it, or let it flow. Whether you’re escaping the winter cold to Mexico, Hawaii, or Florida, running errands in the neighbourhood, or lounging at home, Amina brings artful polish to every plan.
Mist is a pale blue that sits closer to white than sky — cool, airy, and uncomplicated. It's the kind of color that lets the shape of the garment do the work, and pairs easily with almost anything.
The Daria in Mist is cut from double gauze cotton — two layers of soft cotton woven together for a fabric that's breathable and holds its structure without being sheer. V-neckline, side slits, a silhouette that falls loose and away from the body. At 53 inches it falls at the ankle or just above depending on height.

Sage is a green that's learned some restraint — muted enough to be versatile, present enough to be interesting. It sits somewhere between botanical and neutral, which makes it one of the most quietly useful colors in the collection.
The Daria in Sage is cut from double gauze cotton — two layers of soft cotton woven together for a fabric that's breathable and holds its structure without being sheer. V-neckline, side slits, a silhouette that falls loose and away from the body. At 56 inches it's the longest option in the range, falling at the floor or just above depending on height.

The White & Mist Stripe is one of the quieter pieces in the hand-woven range — a subtle stripe in two near-white tones that reads as texture as much as pattern. Made on a loom in the Thai village where Mala's founder grew up, by weavers whose craft has shaped how she thinks about fabric from the very beginning.
The Daria in White & Mist Stripe is a floor-length hand-woven cotton kaftan with a tonal stripe woven through the cloth. V-neckline, side slits, and two pockets — the kind of practical detail that makes a kaftan feel genuinely useful as well as beautiful. At 55 inches it falls to ankle length or just above depending on height.

Peach in the Nora is soft without being washed out — a warm, flattering tone that sits closer to blush than to orange and has a way of working with most complexions. Premium rayon holds the color with a slight luminosity that makes it feel intentional rather than pastel.
The Nora is cut from premium rayon — a fabric that flows and drapes easily, with a smoothness that photographs particularly well in solid colors. At approximately 28 inches across it's slimmer than our standard kaftan, designed to move close to the body. V-neckline, side slits.
