The colors of Mitane, in everyday clothing.
Clothing dyed with local natural materials, from water shield stems to farm produce and trees. Each piece carries a little of Mitane’s landscape and everyday life.

Our clothing is supported by the skills developed in Mitane’s sewing factories. From cutting and sewing to finishing, makers work with the character of each fabric to shape every garment by hand.
