Our Story
Marie. It brings memories of our childhood biscuit. Or calls to mind the name of a lavish, fabulous French queen. Or the venerated saint of the Assumption.
In short, Marie is many things.
It could be youthful yet full-fledged; pristine yet sophisticated; docile yet urban.
It is both nostalgic and now.
Designs by Marie caters to the modern Maria. Created in 2015, our brand offers trendy, casual apparel and novelty home essentials inspired by tradition. We source our materials locally, support women’s livelihood, and champion artisanal craftsmanship. We support a community of women weavers and embroiderers, dealing with them at fair trade.
