Eco-friendly Materials

We are passionate about making fashion more sustainable and ethical. That is why we work with fabric producers who have the same vision as us and use fabrics that are eco-friendly for our production.

Our fabrics come from Finland, Europe, and The United Kingdom. We partner with small businesses in Kuopio, where SaagaMaria Ltd. is based, to create jobs in the area and revive the town’s tradition of fashion design and production. By working with local companies, we also lower our environmental impact, because the products do not have to travel far in the production process.

You can find more information about our fabric producers in the list below. We want to be transparent about our production story so that our customers know what they are buying and we hope this makes the clothing more valuable and enjoyable for them.
