Maium

Rethink Rainwear

For peo­p­le who like stay dry, the­re’s Mai­um. This Ams­ter­dam brand was foun­ded by two fri­ends who were loo­king for a solu­ti­on for the rai­ny days. Sin­ce their city is known as bicy­cle Wal­hal­la, a coat from Mai­um real­ly comes in han­dy. This rain­coat is, in fact, ide­al for a bike ride through the rain­drops. The jacket can be widen­ed on the side and pul­led over the hand­le­bars. This way your hands and legs can’t get wet eit­her. How con­ve­ni­ent is that!

A little more durable every year

By win­ter 2020, Mai­um­’s regu­lar rain­coat is made from 85% recy­cled PET and 15% PU and the puffy win­ter jacket con­sists of 90% recy­cled poly­es­ter, the pad­ding included. Both func­tion­al rain­coats have a Polyu­ther­an coa­ting. The water­pro­of mate­ri­als also car­ry the fol­lo­wing sus­taina­bi­li­ty cer­ti­fi­ca­tes: Oeko­Tex which sta­tes that the­re are no harmful che­mi­cals in the final pro­duct, and the GRS (Glo­bal Recy­cling Stan­dard) which applauds their cir­cu­lar ambi­ti­ons. In addi­ti­on, Mai­um is also com­ple­te­ly vegan as no ani­mal pro­ducts are used in its production.

Fair

The Chi­ne­se pro­du­cer of Mai­um holds the BSCI cer­ti­fi­ca­te. The lat­ter ensu­res good working con­di­ti­ons and a fair wage. To streng­then the rela­ti­onship Mai­um visits the fac­to­ry at least once a year to learn more about how and whe­re the coats are pro­du­ced, to dis­cuss new designs and to work on even bet­ter cooperation.

Rain­coats, body war­mers, win­ter coats and bucket hats made from recy­cled PET can be found at Mai­um in Ams­ter­dam. Look below whe­re you can find this clot­hing brand.
