This Malia dress was made in British Crown Colony Hong Kong and is a higher quality than most Malia dresses I've come across. It is 100% silk dupioni and has a metal zipper. I'm dating this to the 60's, but does anyone have any info on Malia? They're not on the label resource.

Malia sounds familiar to me. But sorry, i don't have any info. Did you search "malia company history" on the web? Sometimes that takes out all the listings for clothes. I find that a lot of garments made in Hong Kong have not disappointed me as far as construction, even though there are a lot of little labels and no names. Chris
The Malia dresses I have come across.....and skirts, too....have been with Hawaii or Honolulu on the label. I just sold a dress last week: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8169175523 Your dress and label are one's I have not seen. Hope someone else comes along with more info... Gail
I don't know much about Malia...except every piece I have found, I have loved!! They have superb prints and great colors and styles that are a little bit different. Mine have been Hawaiian also, I don't think I've ever seen a HK before. Sorry I don't have any info for you. Your dress is super cute!!
