Pre-owned items are articles of clothing that have been retired from someone else closet. 

Pre-owned items already exist, so they require no additional resources and energy to create, contributing zero additional carbon emissions, pollution, and other environmental damages. Additionally, Pre-owned garments are being saved from being thrown away. Around €150 million worth of textile waste goes to landfill and waste each year. Buying pre-owned garments gives clothing second lives, building circularity in the fashion industry, and shortening the demand for new garments.

Pre-owned garments are also often more special because they are often one of a kind because they aren’t sold commercially anymore. They can make your wardrobe more unique, showing your individuality.

Pre-owned items help you reduce the impact of your purchase and close the loop. Around €150 million worth of textile waste goes to landfill and waste each year. By choosing pre-owned items you are keeping them in circle for longer.

Items can be returned 14 days after the delivery.

Born out of a desire to bring joy to the wearer and the maker, Mayamiko produces clothing, accessories and home-ware made by talented artisans all over the globe. With social and environmental responsibility at their core, they aim to design for the global modern citizen who wants a joyful and lasting wardrobe. Whether its embroidery from Sri Lanka, up-cycled silk from Italy, or lovingly made products by their team of artisan makers in Malawi; Mayamiko collections are cross-seasonal and celebrate cultural stories and traditions

Mayamiko's vision is to bring a growing selection of carefully crafted pieces to customers, made by handpicked artisans all over the globe. Currently, you can choose from plant died jewelry from Sri Lanka, hand-knitted fair trade Peruvian hats and up-cycled silk from Italy. They are dedicated to putting people and the planet at the heart of their process and are here to prove that shopping ethically and sustainably does not compromise on quality or design, but rather, adds to its value, while empowering all those along its production lifecycle. All their clothes are made in human scale workshops that share their ethos

Mayamiko started as a charity set up by Paola in 2008 called Mayamiko Trust. The Trust aimed to provide opportunities to the most disadvantaged women in Malawi by nurturing their creative talents, providing transferable skills and a chance to access sustainable trade practices. Several years later Mayamiko, the brand, was founded, working alongside the charity through the Mayamiko Fashion Lab, where many of the brands garments are made. The Mayamiko Fashion Lab was designed to provide training, education, nutrition, sanitation and fairer trade practices to all of those involved. It started with tailoring training for disadvantaged local women, many of whom are affected by the HIV pandemic or who are carers of HIV orphans. As well as receiving a recognised qualification, women have access to business skills training, mentoring and access to a micro-finance scheme, enabling them to start their own business

Mayamiko has partnered with One Tree Planted, an amazing non-profit organisation who are helping to give back to the planet one tree at a time. Every time you place an order with Mayamiko you will have the option to plant a tree, then the brand pays for One Tree Planted to do the honours and plant your very own tree!

All of Mayamiko's packaging is made from recyclable or compostable materials and printed using eco inks. They use no plastic in their packaging: the mailers are compostable from Better Packaging Co, the tissue paper is recycled and the stickers are printed with non-toxic dyes from No Issue. Order a Mayamiko delivery and it could come in a hand-painted bag by artists like Nuaka and Nalaka, who graduated from the Chitra Lane School for the Special Child

At Mayamiko they follow ILO and ETI guidelines and are also a provisional member of WFTO. These are considered as a standard benchmark, as their internal practices go well above these

Mayamiko the brand was born from their own charity, the Mayamiko Trust, to which they give their profits to fund charitable work and trainings for women empowerment in Africa. Please have a look at www.mayamiko.org to learn more about their initiatives

Mayamiko is a slow fashion brand producing only one collection per year. They don't do seasonal sales or markdowns. Everything is designed for longevity and to be used cross-seasonally

Mayamiko's best sellers have been available since they started. The designs and shapes are thought to stand the test of time and seasonal trends

Linen is a strong, lightweight fabric made from the flax plant. It is one of the most historical fibers, and has been used as a clothing textile since 8000BC. 

Linen is a sustainable fabric because of its low requirements of water, resources, and energy to create. There is also little to no pesticides used on linen farms. 

Linen is notorious for durability and versatility. Linen can withstand high temperatures—making the fabric generally perfect for raiding the jungle or lounging on a tropical island. It absorbs moisture without holding bacteria. In fact, it is actually stronger when wet than dry and becomes softer and more pliable the more it is washed. It just gets better and better the longer you have it in your closet! 

Linen is a bio-based material, making it biodegradable, fully composting after it has retired from use.

Linen is one of the most historical fibers, known for its durability and versatility. Made from flax plant fibres, it is a sustainable fabric due to the low requirements of resources like water and little to no pesticides compared to cotton.
