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 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 have been consciously crafted and last forever.
All items in this collection are made-to-order resulting in extra luxurious, conscious pieces. Your uniquely made item will create less waste as well as lowering overall environmental impact and allowing for complete supply-chain transparency. Upon ordering, through a series of emails, you can follow your garment’s journey from silk screening in Soufli to hand-stitching in our Athens atelier to its arrival at your door. This process spans 3 weeks, with attention to detail and every care taken to create your special silk garment

Combining Architecture, Designs and Sustainability
MIA PAPA is a lifestyle brand 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 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.
