Origins
At the heart of 27 Miles Malibu is a love story—between two people, and with a place.
Founded by husband and wife duo Ernie and Emily Vallorano, 27 Miles Malibu is inspired by the laid-back luxury of the California coast. The couple fell in love with Malibu while conducting business in California—drawn in by its natural beauty, creative energy, and effortless style. The name pays tribute to the 27 scenic miles that define this iconic stretch of coastline, a place that quickly became a symbol of inspiration and aspiration for them both.
With deep roots in garment manufacturing, the Valloranos brought decades of industry expertise to their vision. They saw an opportunity to merge high-quality craftsmanship with the casual, elevated style that Malibu embodied.
Our Craftsmanship
At 27 Miles Malibu, we mix bold colors and modern flair with a laid-back, retro vibe that feels straight out of California’s golden days. Each season, we drop ultra-soft, premium cashmere sweaters that channel that effortless Cali spirit into pieces you’ll actually want to live in. But it’s not just about style—we’re serious about doing things the right way. Our sweaters are ethically and sustainably made, and we’re proud to partner with The Good Cashmere Standard and the Sustainable Fibre Alliance to support animal welfare, fair working conditions, and a healthier planet.
With over a decade in the game, we still design four standout collections a year—each one crafted with care, creativity, and intention. As a family-run brand, we oversee everything from sketch to final stitch, always putting people first. The result? Bold, long-lasting knitwear that’s as fun and comfortable as it is timeless.
