Client Profile
Malbon is a lifestyle golfwear brand founded in Los Angeles in 2017 by Erica & Stephen Malbon
The brand blends golf with streetwear, fashion, music and art
Mission is to make golf feel younger and more accessible while still respecting the tradition of the sport.
Products range from performance polos and outerwear to casual hoodies, caps and accessories that work on and off the course
This design draws from the landscapes of California golf courses and the warmth of their clubhouses. The first floor interprets the course itself through bunker-inspired curves, shifts in texture between fairway and green, and the natural rhythm of the terrain. A predominantly green palette reinforces this connection, with each zone—tee box, fairway and rough—forming its own spatial vignette. The second floor transitions into the clubhouse experience, using terracotta-toned browns and warm materials that reference California architecture. Together, the store becomes a green escape from New York, inviting visitors to experience and try on golfwear within an environment that subtly echoes the course.
The check pattern draws from Scotland’s traditional tartan, referencing golf’s origins and its ties to clan and regional identity. Reinterpreted through the brand’s LA-inspired color palette, it blends the sport’s heritage with a modern, youthful energy—reflecting the brand’s West Coast identity and its reimagining of golf for a new generation.
