Our Story

We are two sisters born and raised in New Mexico who share a love of fashion, New Mexico, building up the community around us, and sustainability.  After decades exploring our home state, both on and off the beaten path, we found ourselves wanting to share New Mexico’s beauty through clothing design rooted in landscape and culture.  Each piece is crafted with respect for land and community and with stories of place woven into every thread inviting you to experience the uplifting beauty of New Mexico.

Maile Name

Maile, pronounced my-lee, draws its name from the Hawaiian leaves traditionally woven into beautiful leis representing love, honor, and connection to culture.   This name reflects how love, honor, and connection to our New Mexican heritage is woven into each design, with the hope that you feel uplifted as you wear each piece.

Sustainability

We are dedicated to sustainability that nourishes you and the environment. Our commitment also reflects a deep respect for heritage.  This is why we design with silk, wool, and organic cotton.  These natural fabrics are beautiful, breathable, long-lasting, and lovely to wear.  Our products are made in the USA, ensuring high-quality craftsmanship, supporting local communities, and showcasing local artisans.
