Penelope Queen of Ithaca

Penelope, one of Homer's immortal women, was the paragon of marital fidelity — a serious and industrious character, a devoted wife and mother. She was rich. She was beautiful. She had 108 suitors inside her house, asking her hand in marriage.

Believing her husband would eventually return to her, she adeptly encouraged each man with hints and promises but chose no one, all the while, buying her husband time to find his way back to her.

Penelope is the perfect example of a woman's artfulness and intelligence. She would weave her plots as deftly as she would a garment.

Ethically made pieces offer the opportunity to invest in exceptional clothing that have been consciously crafted and last forever.

All items in this collection are made-to-order resulting in extra luxurious, conscious pieces. Your uniquely made item will create less waste as well as lowering overall environmental impact and allowing for complete supply-chain transparency. Upon ordering, through a series of emails, you can follow your garment’s journey from silk screening in Soufli to hand-stitching in our Athens atelier to its arrival at your door. This process spans 3 weeks, with attention to detail and every care taken to create your special silk garment

Het merk is trots op de duurzame en ethische manier van produceren, met een unieke architecturale en vrouwelijke benadering van het ontwerp. Wat de producten speciaal maakt, is de filosofie achter hun creatie en hun unieke ontwerp gebaseerd op plattegronden van monumentale gebouwen en de kracht van de vrouwelijke natuur, die ze vastlegt door middel van intense, dynamische en gedurfde kleurencombinaties. 

Eerlijk geproduceerd: de luxe zijdeproducten worden in Griekenland handgemaakt door architect en oprichter Mia Papa. De items worden allemaal in-house gemaakt in de ateliers in Athene. 

Milieuvriendelijk: Het merk werkt sinds 2019 hard om verantwoord geproduceerde materialen te gebruiken, 100% afkomstig uit Griekenland, zoals de pure biologische zijde die wordt geleverd door de enige leverancier van groene certificaten in Soufli, Noord-Griekenland. Aangezien tot tweederde van de impact van de duurzaamheid van de mode plaatsvindt in de vroege stadia van het kiezen van grondstoffen, selecteert Mia Papa natuurlijke, biologische zijde in de handel in de handel, waarbij milieuvriendelijke kleuren op de bedrukte items worden gebruikt.

Lokaal geproduceerd: de items worden in Griekenland, binnen Europa gemaakt.
