About me / About business or organisation:
MuMu organic is an Ethical label from Greece, producing high quality women's clothes.

Created in the beautiful Cyclades islands in 2009 by designer Athena Bentila and artist Roland Wakker, MuMu organic is creating stylish and timeless handmade womenswear,produced locally in Greece.

MuMu organic mainly uses certified organic cotton and through responsible sourcing supports Fair Trade producers in developing countries, as well as providing local employment in Greece.

MuMu organic’s beautiful designs are inspired by the breathtaking and versatile natural environment in the Greek islands. The collections feature simple and flattering, fitted dresses, skirts and tops in bright and intense colours.

The water-based prints, designed by Dutch artist Roland Wakker, have been inspired by his original ecological paintings, giving a fresh and modern approach to the clothes.
Career history / Company history:
I always made all my clothes myself.
I love making clothes.
It is a way to express myself.

Now i like to make clothes for more people and give them the opportunity to do something for the environment.

It is a great feeling to know that your clothes do not harm the environment while they look and feel great....

    Athena, tomorrow i'll send you photos of the collection and prices.

    This collection is made in irish linen and cotton. I think, due to the greek weather, and with your islands mood, it could be a nice place to put on the collection.

    Best,

    Rui MIguel
