All items are made of reworked materials & vintage fabrics, so we suggest hand washing or dry cleaning your garments in order to best preserve them - unless stated otherwise on the product’s description.
For dry cleaning, please request that your selected cleaners test-clean a small section of fabric before proceeding with the entire garment. As our vintage fabrics have been beaded, pleated, and hand-sewn it’s best to be sure that the chemicals used are compatible with the garment.

About Malina
Malina Studio was founded by the 25 year old designer Natalya Jaime. A Russian & Puerto Rican self-taught fashion designer based in Detroit, Michigan.
Although self taught, her professional background in design blossomed from the bridal wear industry - having the opportunity to design wedding dresses in both the United States and United Kingdom for 4 years. With this background in sentimental fashion, she emphasizes the importance in care and craftsmanship in all of her designs.
Maison Malina comes with a fixation on vintage and pre-loved materials. We promote slowly made fashion, whether that’s taking home a one-of-one piece or downloading our patterns to make your very own.
In a world of endless consumption & trending aesthetics, we encourage young creatives to come and leave inspired. We design all patterns in house and offer the option to create custom looks to suit your vision. Whether you’re a bride looking for your dream dress, or simply looking for a little treat, we have something for everyone.
Creativity is best tested when working with limited resources, this is where the house of Malina thrives. Our limited stock reflects the intentionality behind every pattern cut and seam. We hope to inspire you to see rebirth in what’s already around you.
Reinvention is a strength.
Don’t just consume - create
We’d love to see what you make! Tag us with your beautiful one of one.
