About Us

Lesly Malave moved to the Bronx, New York from Salinas Puerto Rico with his parents and family at a very young age. Growing up in the streets of the Bronx wasn’t always easy, But Lesly, better known as Lefty learned to become a survivor. Through all the struggles Lefty has become the owner and CEO of a growing fashion line called Ytell.

Growing up in the South Bronx in 80’s and early 90’s with an extremely high crime rate, there was a code many people lived by, "To mind your business”.

Ytell originated from this code.

It's not about the ones that find it hard to stare at your glare, it's about those that come together to shine alongside you for a cause. YTELL is for everyone all across the world who through commitment, inner strength, growth and integrity, did everything they had to, to make their path the right one. It's about the protection of the dream, the vision that you once had and slowly made a reality. Not everyone will be there for your dreams so YTELL let your actions speak through your success.
