The word Mawo is a homonym of the Polish MALO meaning little, few, not much and it epitomises the brand's commitment to minimalism in every sense: timeless designs, small runs, reduced use of natural resources.

Mawo is dedicated to perfecting one single product: the shirt. Why? Because with its timeless,  gender-neutral, trend defying appeal this wardrobe essential can elevate any outfit, season after season. Mawo reinvents this enduring wardrobe gem to reflect the hopes and longings of a sophisticated, responsible and caring new generation.

On February 14, 1990 astronomer Carl Sagan asked NASA's Voyager 1 to spin its camera around and take a photo of the Earth. Shot from around 6 billion km away, our planet's first selfie showed a pixel-small Earth suspended against a limitless universe. Its sheer size caused Sagan to name it a "pale blue dot".

At MAWO we resonate deeply with Sagan's ideas: we believe in caring  - for Earth's resources and for all the people touched by our business, in fostering a sense of collective responsibility for the pale blue dot.

Mawo is the brainchild of MZ and SZ, a para-medic turned accomplished model and a lawyer passionate about community-making and aesthetics. Their ecological upbringing combined with a discerning understanding of the fashion industry led them to embark on the journey of establishing a clothing brand that is progressive and sophisticated yet sustainable to the core.
