Kinga Mila Design
At Kinga Mila, we care about people and our planet, not as a matter of intelligent marketing implementations, but as a matter of fact – a deep ideological convictions that should be the guidance in anyone’s life – with the highest science – The Ethics.
Imperishable attitude drives us; creating timeless, non-disposable clothing made with care and quality is our Credo. The People, Ethics and Environment are at the heart of everything we do. A high standard of our relationships leads to a quality in how we do business and the end product that our Clients may enjoy.
Not to be groundless we are proud to confess that our whole line has been thoroughly designed and made in Poland (Europe). Although we sincerely respect All the People on our Planet, above all, we have managed to avoid going mainstream in doing business by using cheap hands to cut the production costs.
We’re taking a responsible view, looking at all aspects of our business – from the materials we source (specifically all the fabrics, threads and haberdashery were made in Poland) to how the Atelier we collaborate with operates to finally look close at what our impact is on the environment.
We’re aware that every part of the process in our chain of consumption generates a direct environmental impact on our planet. In order to do business, we can’t completely eradicate this impact but we have reduced the bad imprint to an absolute minimum and here we have succeeded yet again. The waste we had produced amounted to one small box. Zero waste management is what drives us forth, each day – every minute.
