This is the season for vacation, sunshine - and summer sales!Huge markdowns in stores continues in a cycle, even though the staff expects a regular salary and the landlord his rent - and they don’t take 70% off 3 months a year.Financial sustainability is just as important as all other parameters of sustainability, and they are very much linked together. Each year, more than 160 billion pieces of clothes are produced, but only around a fourth of them are sold at regular prices.

We are happy to introduce the brand in our store!     MASKA (means “knitted stitch” in Swedish) was founded in 2009.
