Moche Ear Pendant

Marisa Fuentes Prado , the founder of Maqu experienced her grandmother's clothing production in Lima, Peru as a child. She developed by working with artists, taking photographs, painting, and having a fiery wish to design clothes. Her background is paved by a fashion degree; working in 2013 with her favorite designer, Henrik Vibskov in Copenhagen; and at Paris and Copenhagen Fashion Week.

She’s currently producing from Berlin, where she let inspirations from different parts of the world flow together into a lasting design in an open dynamic environment. Berlin witnessed Maqu’s first full collection in 2016. Since then, Maqu Green Project company was founded. Art, design, and practicality flow together with social and environmental sustainability. That’s why 100% of the brand's cotton is organically grown and GOTS-certified.
