Women’s empowerment, zero waste, clean energy... UK brand Mayamiko does it all

Can fashion help to make the world a better place? UK-based brand Mayamiko certainly thinks so. The company founded in 2015 by Paola Masperi does everything in its power to make clothes in an ethical and environmentally-friendly manner. Always produced in limited quantities, Mayamiko’s clothes are made from organic cotton and traditional printed fabrics handpicked from a local market in Malawi that’s just a stone's throw away from the company’s solar-powered workshop, where the vast majority of workers are women. They receive a fair living wage, a nutritious meal every day and a pension scheme.
