"Fashion it's about the stories you weave with each stitch. In every bag, I aim to craft a narrative of sustainability, compassion, and empowerment."





At the heart of MAF bags lies a mission to transform discarded fabrics into exquisite creations. Mafalda's innovative approach involves rescuing deadstock fabrics from fast-fashion giants, sparing them from the grim fate of landfills. Each bag crafted under her stewardship not only exudes elegance but also carries the narrative of environmental stewardship and resourcefulness.

What sets MAF bags apart is not just their aesthetic appeal but their profound impact on society. Mafalda's commitment to limited production runs ensures exclusivity while minimizing waste. With five distinct patterns in rotation, her designs resonate with versatility and timeless charm, seamlessly blending into every facet of daily life – from mundane errands to glamorous soirées.

Yet, Mafalda's vision extends beyond fashion; it encompasses a profound sense of social responsibility. Partnering with cancer organizations and supporting abused women, every MAF bag becomes a symbol of solidarity and hope. But her benevolence doesn't end there. By employing sewers from organizations dedicated to empowering abused women, Mafalda not only provides employment but also catalyzes transformative change, offering a pathway to dignity and self-reliance.

MAF bags are not merely accessories; they are embodiments of Mafalda's ethos – comfortable, lightweight, and effortlessly chic. Their ingenious design allows them to be folded, occupying minimal space while maximizing functionality. Whether navigating through daily routines or attending glamorous soirées, MAF bags stand as a testament to sustainability, compassion, and timeless style.


 


















In a world often characterized by fast-paced consumerism, Mafalda Fornelli and MAF bags emerge as beacons of conscious fashion, inspiring a generation to redefine luxury through compassion and sustainability.  Mafalda loves taking as inspiration  the beautiful landscapes of all around the world. Being in contact with the nature it is what reminds her of MaF bags’s purpose; to create a fashionable item that does not harm the planet Earth or those who live in it.
