Malla Clothing Indigenous Apparel PTY LTD has recently established, a start-up business in 2019 that creates original works of high-quality art based upon Aboriginal culture, that combine visual art with storytelling. The artworks are then transformed into wearable art products. Malla is an Aboriginal-owned and operated venture in Cairns, driven by father and son.
Malla is an internationally renowned artist and has exhibited his works internationally and across Australia. During an artistic career spanning over 30 years, his most memorable commissions were to Canadian singer John Denver and Walt Disney’s CEO Michael Eisner. Dale (Malla) brings not only his expertise as a professional artist to the business but also his extensive industry knowledge and key involvement as overseer, advisor, and mentor to Malla clothing.
The unique designs created by Malla are a culture shared with a spirit of pride, tradition, and trust with appeal across multiple generations of potential buyers and admirers.
