Sustainability and Production

Sustainable Design

At MASKA we have a profound understanding of the character of the fibres: what fibre should be used in which garment and how it should be treated. Natural fibres, such as wool, hemp and linen have unique and excellent attributes. If you pick the right one, the final product will keep its shape and colour, have an amazing lustre, antibacterial capacities and will hardly ever need to be washed. We work actively to promote alternative luxury fibers such as alpaca, camel, silk and mohair to avoid stressing the resources of just a few.

Timeless Design

While making every step in the production process as sustainable as possible, the one thing that really makes a difference for the environment is reduced consumption. Therefore we offer garments that improve with wear and manifest a way of consuming that recall how we consumed clothes decades ago. Instead of focusing on fast-fading trends we praise quality, material knowledge, function and craft. Our design emphasises timeless modernity, and the garments are made to be worn for many years.

Local Production

We hand pick all yarns and fabrics and always keep direct contact with the spinning mills and weavers, to make sure the fibre choices and yarn suppliers align with our beliefs and visions. 95% of our knitwear and wovens are produced in the EU, following the labour laws and the strict chemical regulations of the European Union. Cashmere and silk is produced in Nepal in a GOTS-certified* factory. The yarn used in Nepal also follows a GOTS certified production process. All knitwear yarn, except from the cashmere and silk blend, is spun in Europe.
