A twill-woven and hand rolled scarf, made of 100% natural fine silk. It is adorned with the hand-designed floor plan of the Parthenon* Temple on the Athenian Acropolis.

An elegant scarf with great symbolism that can complement your outfits around your neck, over your shoulders or as a headscarf. A key piece for an elegant woman’s wardrobe.

This silk scarf has been hand-printed in the small Greek town of Soufli and hand-stitched at the Mia Papa atelier in Athens. Ethically made pieces offer the opportunity to invest in exceptional clothing that have been consciously crafted and last forever. 

*The Parthenon (438 BC) is a former temple on the Athenian Acropolis, dedicated to the goddess Athena, whom the people of Athens considered their patroness. Athena was known as Parthenos (with the meaning of unmarried woman, virgin or maiden). Athena’s temple is regarded as an enduring symbol of Ancient Greece, Athenian democracy and Western civilization and one of the world's greatest cultural monuments.

MIA PAPA

Mia Papaefthimiou, with studies in Architecture and Cultural Management, worked for several years as an international architect, curator and creative director in various countries. Following a serious accident, Mia had to abstain from work for quite some time, giving her plenty of time for artful play and so the brand name MIA PAPA was born.

The brand prides itself on the sustainable, organic and handmade way of production, through the support of small local production units in Greece as well as through natural organic materials and handmade finishing.

The designs are based on floor plans of monumental buildings and the power of the feminine nature, capturing them through intense, dynamic and bold color combinations.

Every silk piece is made in the small Greek town of Soufli, where silk is grown from natural silkworm cocoons since antiquity. After being gently twill-woven, printed, cut, washed and ironed, each product is taken by local seamstresses to be sewn it traditionally by hand.

Through her lifestyle sustainable brand of wearable and home-ware art, Mia aims to spread magic, passion and love to everyone who trusts her creations!
