The Maliza ( Russian Малица ) is a traditional piece of clothing, usually made of reindeer skin , of the Samoyed and other indigenous peoples of the Russian north and Siberia .

In a narrower sense, the Maliza refers to a shirt-like, knee-length petticoat that is worn with the fur facing inwards and over which an often decorated belt was tied, on which there were originally flint and tools. The Maliza is often bordered by a dense trimming of colorful fringes made from different colored (dog) skins.

Over the Maliza in winter an outer garment, the Sawik or Gus, is worn, also a knee-length garment with the fur facing outwards, to which a hood and mittens are sewn. In many places, the Maliza also has a hood with fur on the outside and mittens. The Sawik is also often referred to as Maliza.
