Kimalé is an innovative fashion brand that celebrates the joie de vivre of the global riviera. Established in 2013 by Irène Mamfredos, a French/Greek designer together with her friend and pattern-maker Aliki Demi, Kimalé merges the bold style and unique energy of African fabrics -often handmade or rare- with clean and contemporary silhouettes. The three main families of fabrics used are waxprint for pieces with clean cut silhouettes such as shirts, high waisted shorts, mid dresses and slim fit trousers; Bazin which offers shine, contrast and an Arabic touch; And the rarer Bogolan reserved fo unique pieces with earthy hues complete with hand finished details and signature brass buttons. Once a year only, the brand presents an exclusive collection made with love and craftsmanship, in Athens, Greece: Limited edition clothes and accessories which playfully navigate between the colorful palette of African culture and the minimal side of contemporary fashion. Every item is a beautiful marriage of ethnic vibes and minimal shapes that can be worn and enjoyed in the city or in bohemian seaside resorts: Kimalé blooms wherever the sun shines!
