Sami Miró Vintage (SMV), founded by Sami Miró in 2016, stands as a beacon of eco-conscious fashion. Operating as a black female-owned business in Los Angeles, SMV integrates environmental responsibility into every aspect of its operations. Their ethos, “Protect Mother Earth. Without her, we do not exist,” is a testament to their commitment to sustainability.
SMV’s approach to fashion is local and low-impact. The entire supply chain operates within a 15-mile radius of their headquarters, significantly reducing their carbon footprint. They focus on using locally sourced deadstock and vintage fabrics, as well as their own plant-based and certified fabrics developed in Los Angeles. These materials, devoid of harmful chemicals and requiring minimal water usage, form the foundation of their apparel line.
The brand is recognized for its high-quality, fashionable, and long-lasting non-seasonal staples. Their garments are produced by family-owned sewing partners, ensuring fair wages and safe working conditions. SMV has gained acclaim in the fashion industry, featured in Vogue, Forbes, and Harper’s Bazaar, and has collaborated with prestigious names like Heron Preston, Samsung, and Future Earth.
SMV is more than a clothing line – it’s a statement of sustainable, fashionable, and conscious living, having a tangible positive impact on the environment by conserving energy and water and avoiding chemical fertilizers.
