At Mashu, we are proud to have built a local, supported work force. Our handbags are made in Athens, Greece by small, family run factories or individual artisans that we know by name. With the benefit of proximity, we visit them frequently, collaborating to come up with ideas on how we can improve our production and reduce waste in the production process.

Every single part of the Mashu bag is sourced from within the EU. Sourcing and manufacturing locally builds a healthier economy, has a smaller carbon footprint and supports the region’s workforce.

The artisans and factories that we work with are all a few km away from our Athens HQ. We ensure all workers within our supply chain are treated fairly, are paid a living wage or higher, and work under good conditions with strict health and safety measures in place. We ask all our suppliers to sign our code of conduct and ask for evidence when needed.
