Details Matter: Behind the Fashion at Mata Traders

Here at Mata Traders we care deeply about the details that's an important part of what makes our clothes so special!

It would be easy to skimp on the things you don’t see.

You don’t *need* a dress lining to be fully hemmed instead of an overlocked or serged edge, but it raises the quality of the garment.

You don’t *have* to have French seams (where no raw fabric edges are seen), but we take the time to give you a properly finished piece.

An annoying seam will distract you all day.
Having nowhere to put your phone will drive you crazy.

Worrying about a see through dress will chip away at your confidence.
We can’t have that!

Many of our buttons are fabric covered.

Many of our dresses have hidden pockets, and our customers love their pockets!
