The inspiration behind Malo was born in Portofino, where the brand began producing Italian-style knitwear in vibrant colors using ultra-light cashmere yarns—fabrics that are both warm and weightless. Production later moved to Tuscany, a region renowned for its artistic heritage and time-honored craftsmanship. It was this union of intuition and artisanal mastery that gave life to Malo in the 1970s. Originally founded as Malo Tricot in 1972, the brand has been creating garments of refined, timeless style for over 50 years, remaining true to its heritage of quality and sophistication.
