About Matangi Dreams
The adventure began with a long-cherished dream: to travel the world and revive my love for the flower power era.
What started a few years ago with collecting vintage jackets quickly turned into a passion for collecting stories.
"Inspired by free spirits and dreamy travelers"
No rush, no mass production, but attention to detail and respect for the craft.
My adventure took me to India, a country full of contrasts and diversity, where the colours are as vibrant as the culture itself.
In the bustling markets, full of smells and sounds, and the workshops I discovered beautiful fabrics for my designs.
For me it is essential that those who bring my clothes to life work under fair conditions and receive a fair wage. That is why I work closely with small family businesses. In collaboration with these families we create slow, thoughtful collections.
We bring the iconic fashion of the 60s and 70s into the modern era, with a fresh and contemporary twist.
Sustainable materials
Every winter I travel to India to go fabric hunting. All the fabrics we work with are hand picked by me.
There is enough mass production in the world and for this reason we try to work as much as possible with recycled and/or sustainable materials.
What do we mean by sustainable fabrics?
Sustainably produced fabrics such as organic cotton and recycled textiles. These are materials that have the least possible impact on the planet, animals and people. In other words, materials that contribute to a healthy world in the future.
In addition, there is a revaluation of traditional, artisanal techniques such as hand-woven fabrics and natural dyeing methods, which are less harmful to the environment and support local communities.
India’s sustainable apparel industry has a lot of potential and is making significant strides, but there are still significant hurdles to overcome. It is a process of change where both the positive and negative aspects of the industry are intertwined.
Of course we are not perfect, but we do our utmost to create a beautiful collection in a responsible way every year.
Matangi Dreams is
The journey itself is just as valuable to me as the destination
For me it’s about the stories that unfold along the way; I enjoy sharing the stories behind the clothes, and the special encounters I have along the way.
It started with a pink caravan and has now grown into a lively colorful festival tent. Where the passion for clothing, music and travel all come together.
Together with my wonderful wolfpack we can regularly be found at festivals and events.
