Have you ever wondered who makes your clothes?

Here at Mika we are PROUD to show you who makes your clothes this #FashionRevolution week. We truly value each of the members of our Mika team who help bring the line to life & do so with such passion & skill.

Why Do we think it's important to share?

Because we believe the people that make our clothes deserve to be celebrated.
Because we believe transparency is a beautiful thing & want you to know we care about ensuring that our work environment is friendly & safe for all.
Because if you choose to wear MIKA, we value your connection between the artisans, makers & designers.
Because we want you to know that it was made with heart. And LOVED clothes LAST. :)
