It begins with a question– Who do I know? Where do I begin?
MAA’PA exists to connect, to make something unique, and to grow relationships with those around you.
We know how hard it is to make soft goods: from a textile level, testing and validating, to design then pattern making, wear testing, perfecting the fit and function. For some individuals the process continues with grading and review sizing, production and costing, the list goes on. In the creation process we think it's about product but it's relationships. Everyone has unique perspective, expertise and experience to offer.
