The Stripes Mules are back!

A Local Icon Returns

Machino, the Malaysian women’s footwear brand, has built a strong identity around its signature “Hana” motif—a six-petal flower symbolizing creativity, comfort, and cultural pride. More than just an embellishment, it has become a recognizable mark of the brand’s originality and craftsmanship.

The Hana Stripe Mules

Retailing at around RM198, the Hana Stripe Mules in Black are a modern interpretation of the classic mule silhouette. Featuring lattice straps, a pointed toe, and a comfortable mid heel (~5cm), the design is finished with the signature black Hana flower.

Handcrafted in Malaysia with PU leather and microfiber lining, every pair reflects the brand’s focus on quality and originality. The design itself is copyright-protected under Malaysia’s Copyright Act 1987—showing Machino’s commitment to safeguarding its creative vision.

Why This Comeback Matters

The Hana Stripe Mules previously sold out quickly, with demand far exceeding supply. Their comeback represents not just the return of a coveted design, but also the opportunity for fans to finally own a piece of Machino’s signature collection.

In a fashion landscape where plagiarism and design disputes are increasingly common, Machino’s decision to stand firm on protecting its intellectual property makes this return even more meaningful. It is not just a restock—it’s a statement of resilience and authenticity.

Media & Community Reactions

Harper’s BAZAAR Malaysia praised Machino’s Hana collection as “chic and stylish” while remaining comfortable—ideal for summer outings and travel. Meanwhile, local fashion communities online have rallied behind Machino, especially after plagiarism accusations surfaced against larger players in the industry. This solidarity has reinforced Machino’s position as not just a brand, but a cultural movement.
