Who is Vicki Malone...
I'm Vicki — I design, cut, sew, and finish every single piece by hand, in a small studio in Berlin. Nothing here is made in a factory, and nothing is made twice.It starts with the fabric. I spend a lot of my time sourcing — flea markets, fabric merchants closing down, textiles that would otherwise be thrown away or forgotten. Vintage lace, deadstock cotton, embroidered linens with histories I can only guess at. I bring them back to the studio and turn them into clothing — easy, wearable, one-of-a-kind pieces that exist exactly once.That's the whole idea, really. Take something beautiful that already exists, and give it a second life as something someone will wear and love for years.
Why I do it...
Why I do itI've spent over 15 years in the fashion industry, and more than 10 of those sourcing vintage. I started this label because I wanted to do things differently — slowly, by hand, with fabrics that already have a story rather than fabric made new just to be used once.Every piece that leaves this studio has been through my hands at every stage — sourcing, designing, cutting, sewing, packing, and sending it to you. There's no factory, no production line. Just one studio, one person, working on one piece at a time.I think there's nothing better than wearing something with a story behind it — knowing exactly where the fabric came from, and knowing nobody else in the world owns the same piece.If you'd like to know more, or just want to say hello, I'd love to hear from you: hello@vickimalone.com
