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.
First of all, I would like to say this review is not for one kaftan but for all of the kaftans I have purchased from Mala Handwork’s in the last several months. After the first shipment I had received I truly fell in love and have gone on to purchase over 20 kaftans. The fabric flows, the colors are just gorgeous, a terrific price point, and the fact that I could buy these kaftans in my length is an additional plus. You can dress them up with beautiful and fun jewelry or keep it simple. These kaftans make you feel any way you want to feel and I have been stopped on the streets by people to give me compliments and to ask me where I have purchased them. Thank you for adding so much fun to my wardrobe!

The item arrived totally wrinkled in a small envelope.
The color as advertised is totally misleading. The item is teal green, no blue there.
Now l have to send it back on my penny….not fair,

The garment is nicely made but the colors did not match the picture. I sent it back to Malahandworks on 6/4/24 and it should have arrived on June 7. Please let me know when you receive it. Thank you.

While the color was not exactly what I had hoped, this seller is wonderful to work with. I have purchased from her in the past and will do so again.

The dress and the fabric are beautiful but it’s too small for me. I love the dress so much but I’ll have to try to lose 20 pounds to look good in it. I feel so bad that it’s unwearable right now. I usually wear a 2X so I felt it would fit nicely. Not so much.

This teal caftan is beautiful, well made, and the fabric is super soft. It is more flattering on than I imagined. I would feel comfortable in it anywhere...at the beach, shopping, out to lunch, or just lounging at home. It will be a great option for hot Tennessee summers!

Another great purchase from this shop! Since I'm 5'1", I love that I can get this hemmed for only $9 more. Fits great and looks great.

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.
