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.

All of the materials we use to create our bags, wallets and other various designs are sourced locally in Cambodia. Our recycled products are crafted from used plastic sacks that once housed grain, rice or cement powder. These sacks are made of a tightly woven plastic that is strong, lightweight and water resistant, so perfect to sew with!

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.
