“It’s hope, and hope only, that keeps us afloat” ― Margaret Atwood

In lush, warm twill silk for the season, this dress can be worn with or without the adjustable belt.
Your dress comes with a silk pouch for storage.
Also available: Penelope Scarf
EDITORIAL
Penelope Queen of Ithaca
Penelope, one of Homer’s immortal women, was the paragon of marital fidelity — a serious and industrious character, a devoted wife and mother. She was rich. She was beautiful. She had 108 suitors inside her house, asking for her hand in marriage.
Believing her husband would eventually return to her, she adeptly encouraged each man with hints and promises but chose no one, all the while, buying her husband time to find his way back to her.
Penelope is the perfect example of a woman’s artfulness and intelligence. She would weave her plots as deftly as she would a garment.
Ethically made pieces offer the opportunity to invest in exceptional clothing that has been consciously crafted and lasts forever.
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.
