Maiwa - An enlightened business based in Vancouver, BC

Maiwa is an inspiration to anyone who does business in the world of textiles. How comforting to know there's a company out there that is successful and sustainable; and cares about its sources, and wants to work towards the betterment of artisans, local environments and so forth. It's a company that has gone against the grain and made it work.

There's a cost to running an ethical business.  It sometimes means paying a bit more for a better experience and a better product.
