Sustainability is the cornerstone of Mozhdeh Matin’s business and the brand uses ethically sourced and sustainably produced materials. It makes extensive use of natural resources such as Peruvian pima cotton and alpaca fiber, as well as innovative materials such as syringa, a plant-based latex sourced from the Peruvian Amazon that is an ethical alternative to animal-based leather. These materials are not only environmentally friendly, but also support local economies and protect the ecosystems they come from.
