Millma
S.A. is a family owned and operated company which specializes
in the manufacture of alpaca and pima cotton knitwear for
the international high-end fashion market. The company produces
men's and women's full fashioned sweaters, vests, dresses,
skirts, and accessory items such as hats, scarves, and shawls,
in its factory in the Andean city of La Paz, Bolivia.
Millma's
products incorporate traditional ethnic textile designs as
well as influences of modern art, in contemporary styles and
colors. While Millma is mostly known for its multicolored,
elaborately figured knitwear, the company also offers a full
line of men's and women's solid color knits in baby alpaca.
Millma's knitwear is sold worldwide, reaching over twenty
countries throughout North America, Europe, Asia, Australia
and Latinamerica. In Bolivia, the company markets its products
through its own stores, MILLMA BOLIVIA, in the city of La
Paz.
The
company began its operations in 1985. Millma's goal was to
produce contemporary clothing in the same timeless, painstaking
way as the pre-Columbian textile tradition, with a singular
dedication to excellence in design, color, attention to detail
and finishing. Millma knits are fully fashioned on manual
knitting machinery and finished by hand. The sweater designs
are intricate jacquard and intarsia knits with elaborate embroidery,
often containing as many as thirty colors.
Through
the use of the finest fibers indigenous to the Andes and the
able hands of local artisans, Millma has been able to create
sophisticated handcrafted garments unique in a world of mass
produced products. Due to its constant commitment to quality,
the company has established a solid international reputation.
