Bala Bangles: SHARK TANK Success, Chic Fitness Accessories We Can't Take Off, & How to Be in Business as Sisters

Bala is a Los Angeles based movement company, founded in 2018 by husband-and-wife team Natalie Holloway and Maximilian Kislevitz. Their first collection, Bala Bangles, are weighted bands designed with fashion in mind and movement at the center. Natalie, originally from Austin, Texas, grew up as the yoga movement was taking off and it inspired a lifetime passion. When her and Max, from a long line of entrepreneurs, went on a sabbatical in Southeast Asia they realized that they wanted a little more from their practice. Ankle weights hadn’t been updated since the ‘80s, and while everyone loves a pop of neon, they thought they could bring it a little more up to date. Cut to a sketch on a napkin, which led to a prototype, which turned into the Bala Bangle. Fast forward to last year, Natalie brought her sister Erica Holloway on as Bala’s Brand Director - Bala’s first hire! Today, Bala is carried in over 1000 retail locations worldwide. Without further ado, Natalie and Erica. SUBSCRIBE to the new Okay Sis newsletter here - TGIM is about to take on a whole new meaning!
