The story of Maska<\/h2>\n

Like the Swedish style, a clear design language<\/strong> is also evident at Maska. Maska, that means “knitted stitch”, with Scandinavian manuscript! No wonder that designer Maria Svensson<\/strong>, from the yarn to the finished piece of clothing, is carried out in a self-governing manner<\/strong> and has strict selection criterias<\/strong>. Materials such as linen, merino wool, cashmere, silk and organic cotton<\/a> are the basis for cardigans, pants, sweaters or coats. Apart from the season, there are also season-independent<\/strong> basics, hats and scarves.<\/p>\n

And where does her competence come from? The love of textiles has a long family tradition: her great-grandmother and grandmother were the owners of a large sewing factory<\/strong> in the famous Swedish textile stronghold Bor\u00e5s<\/strong>. As a child, Maria was already surrounded by buttons, ribbons and fabrics and experimented with her favorite materials. Later, she worked as a textile buyer<\/strong> for large companies, before she eventually launched her own label<\/strong> in 2009. It is important for her in her profession that both the craftsmanship<\/strong> and the sustainability<\/strong> correspond to a high quality<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Sustainability
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Only natural fibers<\/strong> are used for Maska collections. These are from Europe<\/strong> and are processed there. Only the cashmere wool is entangled in Nepal. But this is done in a production facility that supports local workers<\/strong> and is awarded by the “Fair Wear Foundation”<\/strong><\/a>. The cotton, for example, is obtained exclusively from areas which hardly do not require additional fertilization<\/strong> or artificial irrigation. And even details are reflected in the environmental idea<\/strong>: buttons and labels are made from recycled<\/a> or natural materials. By the way, since collection SS17 all fabrics from Maska are officially certified : 100% organic cotton and GOTS<\/a> seal, knitted fabrics and fabrics are subject to the OEKO-TEX \u00ae Standard 100<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I have always believed that something created with great devotion carries something sublime in itself.<\/div><\/div><\/span><\/h4>\n

But not only the raw materials at Maska are chosen sustainably, the handling of the clothing plays a central role. The customer can carry his purchased favorite pieces for many seasons, because they are on one hand timeless<\/strong> and on the other hand of high quality<\/strong>. Their durability is much higher than in conventional fashion. And even dry cleaning can be dispensed: All Maska products can be washed eco-friendly<\/strong> at home.<\/p>\n
