Working From Home: Tips on How NOT to Stay in Bed All Day.
While we’ve all dreamed of waving goodbye to our office and swapping our desks for our beds from time to time, we’re slowly finding out that working from home isn’t all it’s cracked up to be – especially if we’ve never done it before.

Why Natural Fibers Are Better
Since humans started wearing clothes we have been wearing natural fibres.  Now, as humanity has progressed we have gone from Mammoth skins to lycra as our second skin.  Synthetic fibres have trumped the humble cottons, wools and silks we originally donned.  We stand strong against the use of synthetics at Mia Fratino, only offering garments made in our 100% natural fibres.
Mum-Worthy Gift Ideas
From the grazed knees and night-time monsters of childhood, to the challenges of first-time motherhood or other momentous life achievements, mums are always there to love, guide, support and encourage.Â
Why Is Cashmere so Expensive?
Think of the word cashmere, and thoughts of luxurious, high-class, soft, delicate and expensive products come to mind. But to understand what makes cashmere so valuable – and, as a result, expensive – it’s necessary to delve into the background of where it comes from, how it is made, and why it differs from other materials.
Our Ethical Cashmere
We care where it comes from and where it ends up. Helping educate our customers to understand where their garments come from is a large part of our company ethos.
The Good Cashmere Standard
We are devoted to the responsible production of our sustainable cashmere. One of the key principles of the GCS is that goat farming should have no negative impact on the environment, especially on the land and biodiversity. Â
Slowing Down The Sale Mentality
At MIA FRATINO, we don't advocate flash sales and promotions. This sale mentality 'devalues' garments and leads to over-consumerism. We are dedicated to environmental awareness and advocate mindful purchasing of high-quality, ethically made and long-lasting garments.
Sustainability Begins at the Source.
The fashion industry can be hugely detrimental to our environment.
It's a well known fact that many of the plastics we use in our day-to-day lives end up in the ocean. However, you may not be aware that one major source of this pollution is in fact our clothes.

You + Your Fave Knit = Forever
Making our clothes last longer is the first step to an ethical and sustainable wardrobe. Absence makes the heart grow fonder…AND can make your favourite knit last longer. Sometimes, the things we love hurt us the most, and over-wear and under-care can kill your much-loved knit well before it’s expiry date.
