SUSTAINABLE FABRICS AND MERINO WOOL FIBERS
ENVIRONMENTAL PHILOSOPHY
Maydi, the Wildlife Friendly Enterprise Network (WFEN) and the Wildlife Conservation Society-Argentina (WCS) are pleased to announce the debut of Certified Wildlife Friendly™ fibers from Patagonia Argentina at Paris Fashion Week February 27 – March 6, 2019. Using luxurious merino wool produced by the “Patagonian Fibers with a Conscience” program from a sustainable ranchers cooperative called “Merino de Peninsula Valdés™” Wildlife Friendly™ merino will be featured for the first time by an independent Argentine designer in her line.
Each Maydi garment is carefully made by hand using processes that respect both workers and the environment including iconic Argentinean wildlife through this new sourcing partnership with WCS-Argentina and WFEN. “For MAYDI Sustainability is the responsibility of every individual every day, says Maria Abdala-Zolezzi, “I want to make unique clothes working under fair trade principles while keeping an equitable relationship with the environment as well as with respect and appreciation for the individual people who participate in the craftsmanship of each piece”.
MAYDI RESPECTS HIGH STANDARD PRINCIPLES
ETHICALLY MADE - FAIR TRADE - TRACEABLE - RESPECT FOR ANIMALS
Maydi uses only natural fibers and organic yarns in her hand-woven fabrics. The timeless spirit of each piece manifests itself in a 100% contemporary and refined design, carried out through the ancient techniques of hand-knitting, manual weaving-loom and crochet, which are thus revalued.
Maydi believes in the principles of fair trade, hence her designs are developed and produced in collaboration with local Argentine artisans, assuring them fair remuneration and respect for the legacy of their craft and art. Weaving loom is one of the oldest cultural traditions of Aboriginal peoples and a clear statement of the importance of women as transmitters of life and culture in society.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY DYES
We continue to find ways in which we can develop and innovate our clothing without costing the earth.
The use of natural dyes not only implies to give added value to our products, is a rebirth of our culture, our identity and our roots. The dyes used are completely natural, obtained from native plants such as Tara, Palo Amarillo, Guayacán and Cochinilla from Argentina and South America through environmentally friendly processes.
This process is free from harmful substances and ensures sustainable use and treatment of water.
