🔍 Our Ongoing Commitment to Transparency

At Maimie London, we recognise that true sustainability is a journey, not a destination. While we are proud of the partnerships we’ve built and the responsible practices we uphold, we know there is always more to learn and improve. We are continuously working to deepen transparency across our supply chain—from fabric sourcing to production—seeking out clearer data, stronger certifications, and more direct accountability from our partners.

As we grow, we remain committed to evolving our standards, asking better questions, and sharing more of the story with you. Our goal is to give you confidence not only in what we make, but how we make it.
