Responsibility

At MARIE MARIE we are making a positive impact on both people and the planet. Did you know that crocheting can only be done by hand? By working with local crochet communities - we know the face behind every product. Our items aren't produced by anonymus machines, but crafted with care and precision by a thriving community of women - whom we love to for you to meet.

We believe in the power of community and strive and therefore keep our supply chain open and transparent. We work with communities, here in the Netherlands, but we strive to make this a global community, too. Therefore we are proud to start a collaboration with Sector 7, a social enterprise based in Istanbul, where women coming from all around the world gather and practice different crafts. We'll tell you more about this soon. 

Next to our social impact, we care about our impact on the environment. We use natural materials like jute and oeko-tex certified cotton yarn, from our partner Yarn and Colours. For our lining we use materials like dead stock cotton. And do you remember our mini bag keychains? We make them from leftover yarn. So that nothing goes to waste.  

 

Do good by buying something you love

Our goal with MARIE is to create positive change in the world - use fashion as the force for something good. By purchasing a bag you'll love - and while doing that, making someone very happy. Oh, and that was not all: by doing that you and supporting ethical and environmentally responsible practices. 100% win win, right?
