Malakai is an adornment brand known for iconic celebrity pieces and its deep roots in alternative culture. Our values – artistry, craftsmanship, and a kinship with the earth – guide the design of our creations.

Malakai emerged in Berlin and Bali as a natural evolution of House of Malakai, the namesake of its visionary creative director. House of Malakai first began in 2013 at their atelier in Bali, Indonesia, quickly establishing themselves as leaders in wearable art, millinery, and jewellery. The brand captivated global audiences and became a favorite among iconic celebrities, including Beyoncé, Madonna, Rihanna, FKA Twigs, Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu, CL, Doja Cat, and Nicki Minaj. Their creations have graced the pages of Vogue, Dazed, W Magazine, V Magazine, Rolling Stone, and many other leading fashion publications.

These wearable masterpieces are designed to transcend fashion, becoming timeless objects of cultural and artistic significance.

Drawing on a rich tapestry of influences, Malakai weaves together themes of light, sound, physics, metaphysics, and culture to create designs that transcend the ordinary. Their work reflects a seamless integration of ancient traditions and cutting-edge technology, evoking a sense of timelessness and
