Eco Denim Might Just Be Our New Favourite Fabric - Here’s Why.
At Maria Malo we choose to work with ecological TENCEL jeans, a sustainable fabric composed of mixed wood fibers, such as eucalyptus, that is, fast-growing plants and trees that regenerate quickly, they do not need to be harvested because they grow naturally and to those that use very low impact production techniques.
