MARIE MARIE

Amsterdam-based MARIE MARIE is a crochet community that wants to bring people together and tell stories to the world.

Marthe de Groot the founder of MARIE MARIE finds it important that their bags and accessories are not made by anonymous machines, but by a thriving community of women, which is at the heart of the MARIE MARIE brand.

Marthe believes that fashion can be a force for good and inspire social change. Fashion makers deserve a name and a face. MARIE MARIE encourages you to buy only what you really like and make others happy in the process. Use fashion as a force for good!

MARIE MARIE started in local artisan communities in the Netherlands but has ambitions to expand into a global social enterprise. Marthe is already being helped by Sector 7 in Istanbul, where women from all over the world come together to make crafts.

MARIE MARIE has a positive impact on both people and the planet. The brand aims to make a positive environmental impact as well as a social one. MARIE MARIE uses natural materials such as jute, certified cotton yarn, and waste materials in its responsible accessories.

Anyone who is passionate about crochet can join MARIE MARIE's creative and inclusive activities by contacting the brand. The MARIE MARIE community is a place to share your love of crochet, learn new techniques and get tips.
