About us
Some adventures take you out into the world… and others bring you back to yourself.
MALI was born for both.
Hi, I’m Barbara 👋🏼 and I created MALI as a way to weave together the things that make me feel most alive: nature, creativity, and meaningful moments shared with others.
Since I was little, I’ve been surrounded by creativity—my mom always encouraged me to paint, sew, and craft with my hands. She’s always been my biggest cheerleader, and just as creative as I am. And my dad—he gave me the gift of adventure. He taught me how to love the wild, how to notice the sky, the trees, the sound of waves. Thanks to them, I grew up in a world full of imagination, curiosity, and wonder.
MALI started with hand-painted scarves inspired by nature—and has grown into a space for expression, softness, and reconnection. Today, I create art prints, soft t-shirts, embroidery kits, and workshops where people can create with their hands and rediscover their own creativity.
Each piece begins with a feeling—sparked by a wildflower, a quiet hike, or a fleeting childhood memory—and is transformed into something you can wear, hang, or hold. Everything I make is an invitation: to notice more, feel more, and reconnect with the wild and creative parts of yourself.
MALI isn’t just a brand—it’s a slow-growing world of beauty, care, and imagination.
And you’re always welcome here.
