The collections of the young Berlin label are a mix of art, design and practicality. Using different materials such as alpaca wool or particularly fine Pima cotton, designer Marisa creates classic cuts with a timeless aesthetic. The production is fair, ecologically sustainable and made of organic cotton.
All products are made in Germany and Peru – individual pieces as well as small series directly in the studio in Berlin.
Sustainability at Maqu
We always use the most sustainable and resource-saving of all available options in all work steps.
Maqu evaluates each substance individually according to its origin, extraction and application. Ecological, ethical, social and regional aspects are included in the evaluation.
For our collections, we mainly use organically grown and GOTS certified organic cotton and Lyocell/Tencel, whose fibres are based on cellulose obtained from wood, and hemp.
In winter, we offer models made of sheep’s and alpaca’s wool from traditional sustainable farming. Here, the herds have free run, which avoids the destruction of grasslands and erosion. The animals are naturally part of the shepherd family there and are treated with respect.
In addition, Maqu processes selected and sometimes very old remnants for small series.
We use all fabrics almost completely and make unique pieces from them in the upcycling process, which are offered in our store. In addition to comfort, we pay attention to the durability of the clothing and repair defects in our studio.
Maqu also uses what is available alongside the offcuts. This applies to the entire furnishing of our rooms. We use green electricity from Green Planet Energy and only the most effective lighting technologies.
The shipping is climate-neutral and plastic-free like our clothes in boxes made of recycled paper and uses the GoGreen option to offset the CO2 emissions of the transport.
All products are handmade in Germany and Perú – individual items the designer Marisa produces in her Studio & Store in Berlin.
