Why We Partnered with Mache

Why We Partnered with Mache

Jack Utermoehl

In yoga we learn that our outer environment reflects our inner state. A clear, intentional space helps us stay present and grounded. Mache was born from that understanding. This mission‑driven, woman‑owned company crafts minimalist storage solutions that keep your mat and props neatly organized while doubling as elegant décor.

Their products are made on demand in the United States from non‑toxic luxury paper, recycled wood fiber pulp and cold‑rolled steel. By combining sustainable materials with thoughtful design, Mache turns everyday storage into an art form and a statement of care for the Earth.

In this article we explore what makes Mache special, highlight a few favorite pieces and explain why we are delighted to welcome them into our curated collection.

What Makes Mache Special

Mache products are consciously handmade in the USA by a mission‑driven, woman‑owned small business. Their yoga mat tubes and prop organizers use non‑toxic paper, recycled wood end caps and cores, and durable cold‑rolled steel hardware.

Manufacturing on demand reduces waste and allows for careful attention to detail. By choosing natural ingredients and ethical production, Mache demonstrates that beauty and sustainability can coexist.

Elevated Design for Mindful Spaces

Each Mache piece is both functional and decorative. The company’s Homi Yoga Mat Tubes come in a range of patterns and finishes from marbled Indigold to modern Hatch and golden Apis that fit seamlessly into home studios or living rooms.

Observer notes that these eco‑chic tubes let you keep your mat off the floor while matching your personal style. By turning storage into décor, Mache invites you to create a space that inspires practice and encourages daily ritual.

Conscious Consumerism

Mache encourages customers to choose wisely and minimize unnecessary returns. Their return policy is designed to reduce the environmental impact of shipping and overconsumption. They also use carbon‑offset shipping and plastic‑free packaging, reflecting a holistic commitment to ahimsa (non‑harm) and mindful living. By supporting Mache, you join a community dedicated to making more with less.

Why We Partnered with Mache

Mache embodies the values that guide Asivana Yoga. Their use of recycled and non‑toxic materials reflects ahimsa and respect for the planet. By handcrafting each piece on demand, they honor the inner heroism (vira) of artisanship and intentional living.

The elegant designs foster unity (yoga) and community (kula) by inviting you to share your practice space with others. Their commitment to conscious consumerism and carbon‑offset shipping demonstrates seva as service to the Earth and to each other.

Partnering with Mache allows us to offer storage solutions that do more than organize; they inspire mindful living and support a sustainable future.
