MALION vintage

[Established year] 2016

MALION vintage makes clothes while looking at used clothes as fabrics.
-Brand concept-
MALION is European female names “MARIA” & male names “MARIO”.
Masculine=Men’s Like×Feminine=Lady Like.
RIGHT’s “R” is purposely changed to LEFT’s “L”.
Seeking something vague,yet special,not in the absolute direction.
Beautiful clothes that give a new breath to the good old things
that someone cherished and are reborn.
