By deliberately selecting to work only with those who share our dedication to sustainability and ethical practices, we ensure that every link in our supply chain is aligned with our goal to nurture the planet.
Our approach includes consciously limiting our production volumes. This decision is pivotal in tackling over-production and minimizing waste, ensuring that each Maestoso piece is not just exclusive but also a testament to our commitment to environmental responsability. Through this thoughtful production strategy, we guarantee that every Maestoso piece is a symbol of exclusivity and eco-conscious craftsmanship, embodying the essence of what luxury should stand for.
THE SILK SCARVES
Maestoso’s collection of pure silk scarves is a testament to the art of Italian craftsmanship, entirely handcrafted by one of Italy's most prestigious textile companies. With a rich legacy that traces back to 1945 in Como, a renowned district celebrated for its premium fabrics, our partner stands at the forefront of fabric printing, recognized globally for their unparalleled quality.
Crafted from organic silk, each scarf embodies the pinnacle of sustainable luxury. This organic silk is cultivated without any chemical treatments, including insecticides, pesticides, or synthetic fertilizers. In their commitment to ethical practices, the silkworms are nurtured in a natural environment, allowing them to complete their life cycle peacefully and without harm.
We take immense pride in the fact that our scarves are certified by the Global Organic Textile Standards (GOTS), the most rigorous benchmark for sustainable production in the textile industry. This certification assures that every Maestoso scarf is ethically sourced, processed, and manufactured with the utmost respect for the environment, from the silk farms to your wardrobe.

In a stride towards minimizing environmental impact, we use biodegradable d2w Technology for our packaging, ensuring it leaves no toxic residues or microplastics after decomposing. This approach not only showcases our dedication to sustainability but also sets a new standard in the jewelry industry for environmental responsibility and ethical sourcing.
THE SIGNATURE PACKAGING
We are committed to reducing our environmental footprint, starting with our packaging. In a world where plastic pollution is a pressing issue, we've taken significant steps to not only minimize our use of plastics but to champion recyclability across all aspects of our packaging. Our journey towards sustainability is evident in our choice of materials - from the tissue paper that cradles our products to the sturdy outer cartons that transport them, and even the personalized customer notes enclosed within, every element is designed with the environment in mind. Each piece is fully recyclable, embodying our vision for a greener future.
Our dedication to eco-friendly practices extends to our jewelry collection. In an industry-first move, we have embraced the innovative d2w Technology for our jewelry packaging. This groundbreaking approach ensures that our packaging is not just biodegradable but also decomposes without leaving behind any toxic residues or microplastics. By setting this new standard, we aim to redefine what it means to be environmentally responsible in the jewelry sector, prioritizing both ethical sourcing and the preservation of our planet.
We believe that sustainability is a shared journey. That's why we've aligned with leading partners across Europe who are at the forefront of developing sustainable alternatives to disposable plastic packaging. These collaborations keep us at the cutting edge of the industry, constantly exploring new materials and methodologies that align with our eco-conscious ethos. Together, we are not just dreaming of a global ecosystem where everything finds a new purpose and nothing becomes waste - we are actively creating it.
