No Season collection launched

The new line, the No Season collection, doesn’t disappoint. It’s a fusion between new fabrics, recycled and recyclable materials, and one of the most classic raw materials out there – leather.

Used leather by-products

All of the leather is a by-product of the food industry, and is environmentally-friendly, biodegradable and allergy-free.

Handmade in Portugal

Handmade in Portugal, the No Season collection’s Paper Bag Kraft works as a shoulder or crossbody bag – whichever fits your style that day.

Used recycled materials

The Paper Bag Recycled, also a shoulder or crossbody bag, is handcrafted from gray recycled fabric and vegetable tanned bio leather in black. 70% of the bag comes from post-consumer recycled PES (plastic and polyester fabrics).

Avoided exotic animal skins

Maria/Maleta’s items are all made with animal skins, but Ana Neto stresses that the brand does not use the «skin of exotic/or endangered animals», elucidating that the skins used are the same used in footwear and are mostly leather.

Partnered with Big Blue Ocean Cleanup

The most recent partnership is with Big Blue Ocean Cleanup, an NGO that focuses on cleaning the ocean and recycling waste from the sea and beaches.
