Malla Ancestral Arts ain’t just a brand — it’s my roots, my people, and the journey that shaped me, stitched into every piece. Born of Indo-Asian blood and Gullah Geechee soul, I was raised by Detroit hands — folks from Black Bottom on the East Side and Seven Mile on the West, where the stories run deep and the lessons last longer than time. I come from a line that been walkin’ this earth long before me, and now with a few good seasons on my back, I carry them stories forward. Malla was born to honor that — to blend the old ways of my African, South Asian, and Native ancestors with designs that speak to the now. Our pieces ain’t just clothes, they’re history you can feel, crafted from organic, ethically sourced materials, meant to connect you to where you come from and where you’re goin’. Round here, we walk by this truth: “We are the culmination of the steps of our ancestors and the steps we do not know but dare to take.” So when you wear Malla, you ain’t just steppin’ out — you steppin' in the footprints of those who came before, and cuttin’ paths for those still to come.
