Not all plastic is obvious.
Sometimes, it’s woven into your “organic” tote. Sometimes, it’s in the thread, the lining, or even the tag.
At MaLeeMa, we’ve made a bold promise: No plastic anywhere. Not just the big parts, but the small, hidden ones too. Because even a little plastic leaves a long-lasting mark on our planet.
In this post, we unpack why we say no to plastic even when other brands say it’s “okay in small amounts."
Most so-called “sustainable” bags still contain plastic in:
Polyester linings
Nylon zippers
Plastic-coated labels
Thread blends
Packaging fillers
These “invisible” plastics don’t biodegrade. They shed microplastics, release toxins, and undo the impact of everything else that’s good in the product.

✅ Why MaLeeMa Takes a Zero-Plastic Stand
Plastic-free = Microplastic-free.
Even small fibers shed into oceans and lungs.
Hidden plastic = False sustainability.
We don't greenwash. Every component counts.
Waste should have worth, not permanence.
Banana fiber biodegrades in months. Polyester takes 500+ years.
We respect your body and the earth.
Why should your skin touch synthetic toxins every day?
At MaLeeMa, every product is made:
From agricultural waste (like banana fiber)
By artisans, not machines
With plastic-free packaging
Backed by transparent sourcing
From the handle to the tag zero plastic, all purpose.
If sustainability matters, it has to be honest.
Not part-time. Not just for looks.
At MaLeeMa, we believe that fashion must feel good and do good. That’s why we refuse plastic. Even the hidden kind.
Because we’re not just making bags.
We’re building a better future.
