Original prints, bold styles, designed in Chicago and ethically made in India and Nepal. But that's just half the story - this is fashion with impact.

Our products are handmade using artistic traditions such as block-printing and embroidery...no factory production here. Combine that with flattering design and a flair for color, and you've got the Mata look. For our producers, it's an opportunity to make a better life for their families. Choosing fair trade means you're helping fight global poverty.

New styles added today!

Our latest drop brings looks designed to be layered (or not!), and styles for all of your fall events: from nights out, weddings, weekend trips, and neighborhood hangs.

Moody Mocha Scribble meets our silky smooth modal, a fabric that drapes beautifully, for a relaxed autumnal vibe. Our Teal Vine print is a perfect fit for organic cotton jersey styles (with a touch of stretch for comfort and fit) that go everywhere you do. Blue Mini Check is a classic neutral woven that goes with anything and keeps it chic. Dusk Stripe has rich, heathered fall stripes woven in small batches.

Our fall collection launch party was so fun!

We didn’t get a chance to take any pics during the event, but thanks to Chicago for coming out and showing up 😊

So many great comments about these new pieces, and our biggest surprise is always that so many different items were snagged. Everybody tried on something they might not have considered, and in many cases, really liked it! Shopping in-person can bring lots of pleasant surprises!

We will not have regular shopping hours this coming week, FYI!

NEW DROP ALERT!

Have you ever tried our organic cotton jersey?

We have some *serious* fans of its softness, stretchiness, great prints, and the fact that the colors stay vibrant, wash after wash. Add some styles that keep coming back every season and you’ll understand why.

Jersey lovers, identify yourselves 🙋‍♀️!

Just saying, you deserve to feel good IN what you’re wearing, and feel good ABOUT what you’re wearing.

A new fabric this season: our lightly quilted cotton. Two cotton layers stitched together creates a slightly cozier layer, for just enough warmth as the seasons shift.

The Julia Jumpsuit is an easy fit, and an instant outfit, with a drawstring waist for comfort and pockets for your favorite snack. Or something more practical.

Hot take: wear what you want, when you want. It might mean a dress at 7am. Or something brighter than what you’d normally wear, just because you like it.

Feeling good sets your day in the right direction.

New fall is in.
