Alumna brand MYË now retailing on staiy.com
Redress continues to collaborate with partners that offer support and opportunities to our ever expanding Redress Design Award Alumni Network, now 240+ strong.
Mai Takemori (2014 semi-finalist) was awarded the Redress Design Award 2021 Alumni Prize with Staiy.com with a retail and marketing package on the leading destination for sustainable shopping. Her recently launched Singapore-based sustainable activewear brand MYË is now available for global purchase on staiy.com, joining 2020 winner, alumna Pat Guzik.
In addition, extending her prize, Staiy will soon be stocking MYË in their physical concept store in Berlin.
Staiy puts all their brands through a mandatory brand sustainability assessment, which includes assessment on water, air, materials, working conditions and supply chain. MYË focuses on using recycled materials in premium athleisure clothing, and donates US$1 dollar to ONE Tree Planted from each order placed.
