Fabric Alchemy

  • An intentional practice that integrates education, design, and operations by drawing on ancestral African and Indigenous knowledge. It focuses on repurposing (upcycling and mechanical recycling), educational workshops, and textile waste programs to transform discarded natural textiles into garments that prioritize environmental and human health, while addressing the impacts of extractive textile systems on Black and Indigenous communities.

MAHDIYYAH is a pioneering Zero-Waste Fashion Brand with over a decade of experience in sustainable fashion. We specialize in innovative apparel made from 100% discarded cotton and 100% discarded linen, reflecting our commitment to upcycling and mono-material design.

At the heart of MAHDIYYAH is the concept of Fabric Alchemy, which emphasizes transforming textile waste while honoring nature’s ecosystems and the Black and Indigenous practices of regenerative design. We aim to create a harmonious and cyclical approach to fashion, fostering a sense of community within this growing movement.
