Moa is Mediterranean clothing for women, made from natural fibres and handmade by Turkish artisans. Our clothes are cut from breathable European Flax® linen, linen-cotton blends, soft cotton gauze and Turkish cotton. They're easy, unstructured shapes in calm colours: white, ivory, black, beige, olive and classic stripes. Each piece is made for long summer days by the sea, slow lunches and evenings that go on late. Wear it for years, not just a season.

Turkish clothing, Mediterranean style
Moa is a small, family-run brand. Every piece is made by artisans in Turkey, where linen and cotton weaving has a long history. The look is Mediterranean chic, the easy side of resort chic attire: simple shapes, natural textures and a few meaningful details, like the evil eye, a symbol of protection across the Aegean. Read the meaning of the evil eye.
Vacation clothes for women
Natural fibres are made for travel. Linen and gauze pack flat, breathe in the heat and look better slightly lived-in. A few dresses, a pair of wide leg linen pants, shorts and a long skirt make a week of holiday outfits and linen resort wear, from a Mediterranean cruise to a city break. For ideas, see our guides to European summer outfits and resort wear for your vacation. Add a beach cover up or a kimono for the beach.

FAQ
What is Mediterranean clothing?
Mediterranean clothing is loose, breathable clothing made for hot, sunny climates. It's usually natural linen and cotton in white, neutral and sea-inspired colours. Think flowing maxi dresses, wide leg linen pants, simple tops and long skirts.
Why choose natural fiber clothing?
Linen and cotton breathe, absorb moisture and stay cool, while synthetics trap heat. They also soften with wear and last for years. See our guide to the best fabrics for hot weather.
Where is Moa clothing made?
Every Moa piece is handmade by artisans in Turkey, from European Flax® linen, cotton gauze and Turkish cotton.
How do I wash linen clothes?
Wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, then hang or lay flat to dry. Linen softens with every wash and can be lightly steamed. Cotton gauze keeps its crinkle and never needs ironing.
What sizes does Moa offer?
Most pieces come in S, M and L, in relaxed cuts. Each product page has a size guide with measurements.
