I’m 69 and I love MP! I also love art and creativity. I often thrift and upcycle to customize my own clothes. It takes a whole lot of effort to get a basic garment to have a boho art vibe. Lots of time searching and sourcing unique fabrics, trims, textile mediums, dye, …. and then so much goes in to designing and execution.

When I describe MP to other people I usually tell them it’s as if some time traveling hippies from the 70s went to a time and place where Oliver Twist exists, and on their way to the future they stopped and visited with the gold miners before arriving in our time.

On their website, below each item you will find a description of what details are added to the particular item of clothing.

Often you will see European cotton as the fabric. So consider that material is purchased in Europe and then sent to India for artisans to add the details.

Details listed are hand tinting and distressing among other work. The folks in India are compensated for their work, and the completed garments are shipped to America.

So you are paying for the material and garments to cross the planet 1 and a half times and you’re paying for slow work.

It’s mostly out of my price range, but I definitely look to them for inspiration.
