History
The Story of KALIANA: Tradition, Passion, and Innovation
Since its founding in 2003, Kaliana has become a reference in the children’s fashion world, specializing in the creation of smocked dresses for little ones. This journey is above all the story of a bold vision driven by Mrs. Voahangy, a visionary entrepreneur, and a team united by the same passion for Malagasy craftsmanship
"The origins of an entrepreneurial dream"
The story of Kaliana began well before its official creation, in the 1990s, at a trade fair in Mahamasina in 1999. It was a turning point for Madame Voahangy, who, after several professional experiences, found herself surrounded by inspiring people who encouraged her to believe in her dreams.
Like many entrepreneurs, she first had to overcome several obstacles: financing, securing premises, and recruiting qualified staff. However, these challenges never shook her determination.
"The Birth of Kaliana"
In 2003, Mrs. Voahangy’s dream became a reality with the official creation of Kaliana, in collaboration with Mrs. Zoé. The company started modestly, with a team of 12 people, but with great ambition: to offer exceptional products focused on quality and attention to detail. The brand quickly became known for its unique creations, combining tradition and elegance, and succeeded in building a loyal customer base.
"A united team, a shared vision"
What sets Kaliana apart is above all the passionate team that works every day to carry forward Mrs. Voahangy’s legacy. Together, they have overcome challenges with courage and perseverance. Kaliana is a story of resilience and collective effort, which continues to grow while remaining faithful to the core values that have made its success: a love for “Vita Malagasy,” a local craftsmanship passed down from generation to generation.
