Mālama - Where the legacy of the past meets the promise of the future
At Mālama, our name holds the essence of two profound concepts: the Greek origin of "Mālama," which translates to "gold," and the Hawaiian concept of "Mālama," signifying care, preservation, and protection. These two influences converge to define the purpose and passion behind our brand.
The Gold of Mālama
In the Greek tradition, "Mālama" is synonymous with gold, symbolizing purity, value, and beauty. It is a tribute to the legacy of our founder's great-great-grandmother, whose name was Malama. Like gold, we cherish the treasures of the past and believe in their enduring value. We embrace the art of transformation, turning discarded materials into golden opportunities to create unique, sustainable home goods and decor.
The Spirit of Mālama
In the Hawaiian culture, "Mālama" means to take care of, to care for, attend to, preserve, and protect. This concept is the heartbeat of our brand. We are committed to caring for our environment and protecting our planet through sustainable practices. It's our way of giving back, nurturing the world that provides us with inspiration and resources.
Our Purpose
Our purpose is twofold: to elevate the discarded into the cherished and to ensure that every piece we create embodies the spirit of Mālama. We take materials that may have lost their luster and transform them into unique, stylish, and sustainable home goods and decorations. This process not only breathes new life into these materials but also reduces waste and lessens our environmental impact.
