MAHDIYYAH is a Zero-Waste Resourceful Fashion Brand, and Circular Fashion Education resource with a unique focus on design and education about using the ancestral techniques of Repurposing(upcycling) and Mechanical Recycling to alchemize discarded, natural fabrics that are considered textile waste, into more useful clothing, and garment materials.

MAHDIYYAH has partnered with several organizations to bring educational workshops, mentorship initiatives for youth, curriculum design focusing on circular approaches to fashion education, and events to provide more accessible avenues to this information.

The idea of Fabric Alchemy, which the brand notes as it’s perspective and practice, is akin to alchemizing textile waste and remembering our native tongue, which is simply nature’s complex ecosystems and the Black and Indigenous ancestral practice of using resources from the natural world in a more considerate way, while also being intentional about the use of fabrics that do less harm to the environment and the body.
