How do you dress a Mukhee baby?

We had to choose and we chose.

With naturally elastic garments, without plastics or derivatives

We only use 100% natural monomaterial fabrics (no blends). We never use fabrics containing petroleum-derived compounds (zero plastics). The elasticity of our garments is provided by the fabric's structure, including the waistbands, cuffs, and collars.

100% natural and certified fabrics

The fabrics used to make our clothing and accessories are 100% natural, free of toxins and plastics. A large portion of our products are made from 100% organic cotton, although we have recently incorporated fabrics such as linen, lyocell, and recycled cotton.

Certificates

For organic cotton:

The GOTS certification guarantees that the cotton cultivation, harvesting, production, and processing process is carried out using controlled organic farming, prohibiting the use of hazardous inputs. It also guarantees that all products labeled with its seal have been produced ethically, with minimum wages that allow for a dignified life in humane, free, regular, and non-discriminatory conditions.

Many of the fabrics we use also carry the OCCGuarantee® seal, which guarantees that the product meets the highest quality standards of the textile industry at all stages of the production process, even from the seed.

The raw and brown fabrics take on the natural colors that come from the seed. As a result, some of the cotton plant's seeds can often be seen in the fabric. They are not applied with chemical fixatives to isolate them from natural agents, meaning the cotton is alive in the fabric, and therefore its color may vary slightly when exposed to factors such as sun, water, etc. All are GOTS certified.

For recycled cotton:

The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certification is a recognized international standard that certifies recycled content in textile products and guarantees responsible practices throughout the supply chain. This certification ensures that products contain verified recycled materials, promoting the circular economy and reducing environmental impact. Furthermore, the GRS certification covers social, environmental, and chemical criteria to ensure the safety and quality of the final product.

For linen:

The Euro Flax™ Certificate is a certification that guarantees the quality and sustainability of European flax. This certificate ensures that the flax used in products comes from responsibly managed crops, following integrated agricultural practices that respect the environment. Furthermore, the Euro Flax™ Certificate provides traceability of the flax's European origin, from fiber to final product, allowing consumers to be confident that they are purchasing high-quality, sustainable products.

For Lyocell:

Lyocell is a textile fiber produced from tree cellulose. This material is known for its softness, strength, and moisture-wicking properties, making it ideal for a variety of textile products. In terms of sustainability, Lyocell stands out for its environmentally friendly manufacturing process. It uses a high percentage of recyclable organic solvent, minimizing the release of harmful chemicals into the environment. Furthermore, Lyocell is biodegradable and compostable, meaning it can decompose naturally after use.



Spanish transhumant merino wool

The wool used is 100% Spanish transhumant merino wool. It carries the Made in Slow seal, which ensures that it is locally made, with care and respect. It is a natural, ecological, and biodegradable fiber due to its natural origin. Its main properties are:

  • Thermoregulatory: It has waves along its fibers that trap air inside. The larger these waves are, the larger the air chamber created between the fibers, resulting in greater insulation.
  • Breathable: The moisture absorption and release properties, combined with the fact that it is a spongy fabric that does not adhere to the skin, leave a layer of ventilation between the skin and the garment, allowing for high breathability.
  • Anti-odor: This fiber has natural antimicrobial properties, delaying the appearance of odors.
  • Repels dirt: It contains less moisture than conventional wool, which reduces static electricity that attracts dust and environmental dirt.
  • Soft: Since the fibers are finer than other wools, it is much softer to the touch and does not cause itching or skin irritation.

With this wool, we support the Transhumance by Made in Slow project for the recovery of Spanish transhumance, declared a Representative Manifestation of Intangible Cultural Heritage, and its merino wool, actively and directly contributing to improving the living conditions of transhumant shepherds, thus helping to preserve this activity.

Vegetable tanned leather, no chrome

The leather we use for the production of our Mukhees is vegetable tanned leather.

It is defined as "vegetable" because the substances used in tanning are tannins, natural extracts derived exclusively from plant sources such as trees and shrubs, mainly acacia, oak, chestnut, and quebracho.

From an environmental perspective, vegetable tanning is much more sustainable and poses no health risks.

It is much more artisanal and therefore less commonly used in industry, but it produces skins with greater porosity that allow their appearance to be modified over time, improving them.

With locally produced and artisanal garments

We distribute production between our workshop and partner workshops, all located in Spain.

For the production of clothing and accessories, we prioritize collaboration with local workshops close to our facility. This proximity allows us, among other things:

  • Create a relationship of trust with the workshops, with a direct impact on the quality of the productions.
  • We reduce CO2 emissions caused by transportation.
  • We're doing our part to help the Spanish garment industry recover.

In the case of the Mukhees , we produce them ourselves in our Madrid workshop, with care and attention to detail. We weave and sew them manually, one by one, in a completely artisanal process, giving each piece a unique and special character.

Favoring controlled production

We believe quality is our priority, both when it comes to materials and manufacturing. We work with small, local, and trusted workshops that often perform manual work, meticulously detailing every detail. The same thing happens in our own workshop. And we don't want to change that. That's why we produce based on demand, avoiding unnecessary stockpiling. Sometimes it will take us longer to get your product to you, but we assure you that the love and care we put into it will make up for any delay.

Generating less waste by betting on circularity

At Mukhee, we're committed to circularity by extending the lifespan of our garments. To achieve this, we not only ensure we make high-quality garments, but we also take care to give them new life to prevent them from ending up as waste.

We recover garments, analyze them, and categorize them so they can be reused or recycled depending on their condition, thereby reducing the amount of waste we generate. We do the same with fabrics from scraps or cuts, both from our workshop and from the workshops we work with.
