Malia Designs | Fair Trade | Artisan-made in Cambodia

Malia Designs was formed in 2005 to increase economic opportunity for women in Cambodia and to support organizations that fight human trafficking in Southeast Asia. Our fair trade accessories are made by small social enterprises that employ talented artisans in Cambodia. Through these partnerships we connect our maker partners to Western markets, expanding their access to sustainable income and safe and dignified working conditions.

Each artisan group employs both men and women, though women make up the majority by a large percentage. Our artisans span a wide range of ages, backgrounds, education levels, and life experiences. Some grew up in the countryside and some in the city. The one thing that they all have in common is the desire to create a better life for themselves, their families, and their communities. When you purchase Malia, you help create life-changing and sustainable employment for over 200 individuals!

All of the materials we use to create our bags, wallets and other various designs are sourced locally in Cambodia.

The group that produces our recycled feed bag line is a small sewing group located in the heart of Phnom Penh. This group prioritizes hiring deaf and disabled individuals. They have developed an extensive training program to ensure artisans obtain the necessary skills for career success. All artisans are paid a full salary while completing their extensive training, and supported to choose a path that provides for financial independence and growth.

Malia Designs’ philanthropic efforts take the fight against human trafficking a step further by donating to organizations that fight child trafficking. Together with Stop Traffick, our non-profit philanthropic arm, we have donated over $185,000 to organizations in Cambodia and the US that fight human trafficking.
