MIA PAPA is a lifestyle sustainable, organic & handmade brand of wearable and homeware art, launched in 2019. From the prints the founder – Mia Papaefthimiou - creates based on floor plans of monumental buildings to her designs encapsulating the power of feminine nature to honoring the folk art and history of her home country - every garment is a piece of wearable art, every item of homeware is a treasure to be cherished. 

Greek-born, Vienna-based architect and designer, Mia Papaefthimiou launched MIA PAPA after a serious accident. Handmade collages have always been a passion of her. Following an accident that kept her away from her work, she had an intense desire to stay creative in order to aid her recovery. Her passion for collages turned into silk screens on paper as art and then to silk screening on silk scarves.

Ethically Handcrafted in Greece

Nowadays, everything works on high speed. MIA PAPA made the bold decision to step back and offer something special, which takes time and dedication to produce. A single piece of fabric gives multiple and imaginative applications. A scarf, through size, colours, different patterns and ways of applying, highlights aspects of our personality. They give us dynamism, charm, mystery, elegance, a sense of whimsy and much more. 

Knowing that organic methods lessen their impact on the environment with the use of fewer toxins and pesticides, they source the organic Soufli silk from the only Green Certified supplier in Greece. Soufli is a town steeped in history, where silk of the highest quality has been grown from natural silkworm cocoons since antiquity. 

They also celebrate their ethical production and the use of heritage methods. Their handcrafted collections require exquisite skill on the part of the makers. Bringing a human connection to their garments, the couture techniques used result in individualised and unique pieces that honour the craftsmanship involved.
