The products are designed in Belgium, and handcrafted by local Egyptian craftsmen in El-Fustat, a place known for its traditional and old manufacturing skills. Not only does this preserve ancient heritage, but their collaboration with Fairtrade Egypt makes it easier for the brand to ensure ethical workplace practices for all the craftsmen. That being said, we would like more details regarding the production to be reassured of the ethical nature of the workplace.
All pieces are made from brass, some coated with silver, and some pieces are also made with copper. All pieces are 100% lead and nickel free, therefore hypoallergenic. These materials are all recyclable, however not renewable, and we do not have enough information regarding the material sourcing, especially the mining practices and their impact on the environment. We are not given any information regarding the packaging and chemicals used either.
All the pieces from Mumkin are made of metals, which are 100% recyclable and hence circular, despite the brand itself not having a circular business model.
The brand is located in Belgium and conducts production in Egypt, which makes the production chain very long, and the entire supply chain is unknown. We also do not know the method of transportation used, which could potentially exacerbate the negative effects on the environment.
The brand does not use any animal derived materials, making it theoretically Vegan.
At Mumkin, slow fashion isn’t just a trend — it’s a philosophy deeply rooted in ethical craftsmanship and sustainability. Through a meaningful collaboration with Fair Trade Egypt, Mumkin empowers Egyptian artisans, fostering fair working conditions and promoting eco-conscious practices.
Versatility meets elegance in Mumkin’s collection, where many pieces are thoughtfully designed to be adjustable. This reduces the need for returns or exchanges, promoting a more conscious approach to fashion. From delicate bracelets to timeless necklaces, Mumkin offers a range of minimalistic yet sophisticated accessories that effortlessly elevate any ensemble.
Mumkin provides some level of transparency regarding their ethical practices and materiality, however we need more in depth information regarding all aspects of the production, sourcing, transportation, packaging, chemicals, etc.
Conclusion
Experience the beauty of slow fashion with Mumkin — where every piece tells a story of craftsmanship, sustainability, and style. We at COSH! recommend this brand, but also look forward to see a lot more transparency regarding material sourcing, transportation, and packaging, as the brand grows.
