At Maimie London, we believe luxury should be timeless—in both style and impact. creating garments that feel exquisite today, and will be just as beautiful in years to come—pieces to care for, treasure, and perhaps one day pass on. With purpose, craftsmanship, and respect for people and planet, this is fashion designed to last.

We are committed to:

  • Sustainable sourcing of natural fibres

  • Ethical, small-batch manufacturing in the UK

  • Waste-reducing, low-impact practices across the full product lifecycle

MAIMIE MADE TO LAST


🌿 FABRICS: NATURAL, RESPONSIBLY SOURCED & LOW-IMPACT 

Silk is one of nature’s finest fibres—renewable, biodegradable, and long-wearing. Its low water and energy requirements compared to many other fibres make it a material of both beauty and conscience.

Our approach to fabric sourcing focuses on longevity, quality, and environmental care, including:

  • Premium Silk from Heritage Mills
    Carefully sourced from trusted suppliers in China—the birthplace of silk-making—with strict adherence to ethical and environmental standards.

  • Repurposed Luxury Silk
    We give new life to end-of-line silk fabrics from luxury fashion houses, preventing beautiful materials from going to waste.

  • Eco-Printing & Non-Toxic Dyes
    All prints are digitally applied using Azo-free, phthalate-free, and non-toxic dyes, reducing water usage and pollution.

🧵 MADE WITH CARE: CRAFTSMANSHIP & SLOW PRODUCTION

We proudly celebrate slow fashion, working with skilled British artisans to produce in small, carefully managed quantities. This ensures:

  • Exceptional quality

  • Minimal environmental impact

  • Support for local talent

Our design and production philosophy includes:

  • Handcrafting in UK Studios
    Each garment is made by independent seamstresses and small studios in London and beyond.

  • Fair Work Practices
    Our partners prioritise worker well-being, fair pay, and safe conditions—supporting not only the planet, but people too.

  • Minimal Waste Design
    Efficient pattern-cutting, repurposing silk offcuts into accessories, and donating unused materials are core to our approach.
