BEHIND THE NAME
The Parthenon (438 BC) is a former temple on the Athenian Acropolis, dedicated to the goddess Athena, whom the people of Athens considered their patron. Athena was known as Parthenos (virgin) because she was believed to remain perpetually a virgin. Athena’s temple is regarded as an enduring symbol of Ancient Greece, Athenian democracy and Western civilization and is one of the world’s greatest cultural monuments.
PHILOSOPHY
Ethical-made pieces offer the opportunity to invest in exceptional clothing that has been consciously crafted and lasts forever. This summer caftan being 100% hand-printed in Soufli, Greece and hand-stitched in-house at our Athens ateliers is a key piece for an elegant woman’s wardrobe.
For Mia Papaefthimiou setting up MIA PAPA as an ethical and slow fashion brand dedicated to sustainable practices considering both people working on it and the planet was mandatory. For this reason, the brand has collaborated from day one with expertized local artisans who craft the entire production line by hand, from sewing to printing.
