Maiwa is a place of many talented staff. One of our own, Melodie Borosevich, has designed and made a jewellery line based loosely on tribal styles. Worked in silver, her designs are a thoroughly modern reinterpretation with clean lines and elegant curves.

Maiwa is pleased to have a selection of her pieces for sale in the main store on Granville Island.

Above, Melodie Borosevich's jewellery worn by Ja Pace who has modeled Maiwa clothing for our photo shoots and fashion shows. Photographed by another Maiwa staff, Tim McLaughlin.

Jane Stafford in Sabahar's weaving shed - Adis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Well known weaving instructor, Jane Stafford has just returned from a trip to visit Sabahar in Ethiopia.

Jane and Sabahar first met at the 2011 Maiwa masterclass in Bengal. So, like a textile matchmaker, Maiwa is quite proud that the two have kept in touch and maintained a relationship.

Jane has given a full description of her Ethiopian visit in her newsletter and now she is re-posting the story on her website.
