When I started Alala, I wanted women of every age to feel beautiful and confident in our clothes.
Even in 2024, we are still being told that life is over at a certain age, and to just shut up and blend in. I wholly reject that idea, and I know that you are out there doing incredible things at every age and I want to celebrate that today.
It All Started in 2014
Our first office had enough space for 2 desks and 10 plastic bins held all our inventory. I shipped orders myself every day for a while before we moved into a proper warehouse.

"My greatest joy is when I see women around NYC wearing Alala styles that we released 5, 6, 7 years ago.
Knowing that our pieces have been cherished over time, enduring numerous wears and workouts fills me with immense pride and happiness."

All About The Fit
During COVID, we ditched the office and held masked fittings at Denise’s apartment. Alfie, her rescue Pomeranian, supervised to make sure each piece was fit perfectly.
Our Best Sellers: From A Sketch To Reality

The material is such high quality it genuinely blew me away.
Stretchy and fits wonderfully without being too loose or too tight. I’m in love!"
