ABOUT ME

I had started out as a painter, excitedly experimenting with colour and texture on canvas. I'd mix unusual and bold colours whilst painting, and wanted to see these rich, unexpected colours on the clothes that I wore. This inspired me. In 2013, I started creating digital designs using a mix of my own photographs and paintings of different natural elements. I digitally printed these designs onto silk and was blown away by the richness of the colourful silks. These fabrics were then hand-crafted to create a range of scarves, and this is how my brand, Saz Mifsud, was born. Today, the collection has grown to include both women's and men's accessories, along with home accessories and a stationery line.

The brand values using natural, good quality fabrics and working with skilled craftspeople to create unique products that will last. We operate as a slow fashion brand; focusing on investing time on the design and development process and creating small, limited run collections.

I ardently believe that running a business is not just about having a good product and turning a profit; it’s about using the brand's successes to support my community. I was empowered by the women who supported my brand and that’s why I chose to, in turn, empower them. Throughout the year, we collaborate with several organisations and support groups to donate a number of headscarves to women undergoing treatment that results in hair loss. It means the world to us to be able to brighten up their day. If there's a cause close to your heart, please do share it with us or email us to nominate someone you think could benefit from our help.
