The MH Journal

In this Journal Entry, our founder Penelope interviews artist Vera Amiel, whose delicate black ink drawings reflect the quiet strength found in everyday womanhood. Now living in North Yorkshire, Vera draws inspiration from stillness and simple gestures. After discovering Moma Hilo, she created a beautiful piece inspired by our Augusta Dress. Vera opens up about her creative path and the women who inspire her work.

At Moma Hilo, we value meaningful connections and ethical production. We’re excited to share our interview with Diana Kakkar, founder of MAES London - one of our North London factories. With a global career and a passion for local manufacturing, Diana’s vision aligns closely with ours. Here’s a glimpse into her journey, team, and innovative approach, interviewed by our founder, Penelope.

No.46 Park Road in Crouch End is a family-run studio filled with handcrafted candles, concrete homewares, and watercolour art. We recently collaborated with Mackenzie, the artist and shopkeeper, to create a special candle for Moma Hilo. Here, we chat about the studio’s story, family values, and the magic of making by hand.

The Re-Loved Club is on a mission to keep clothes in circulation through second-hand shopping and community resale. Their values of sustainability, transparency, and conscious consumption resonate deeply with us at Moma Hilo. We spoke with founders Vicky and Paula, ahead of their next event, about their journey, growing community, and why re-loved fashion matters.

Moma Hilo chats with Deborah and Piarvé, founders of Last Yarn, about the power of deadstock fabric, sourcing locally, and building a more circular fashion industry.
