slow fashion, consciously-made
Living in a coastal city, Porto led us to create a brand inspired by the sea (mar), the nature, the power that the sun and the warm weather have in our lives.
Maaris comes from the desire for a mindful, simpler and more minimalist life.
The art of simplification and deceleration of everyday is enjoyed with pleasure.

Natural fibers
We think nature knows best so we use natural fibers to make our pieces. The choice for natural fibers celebrates mother nature in all her unspoiled glory. The aim is to go ‘back to basics’ and embrace simplicity, to slow down and appreciate nature’s virgin qualities. Supporting sustainable materials is the key to achieve this. Skin friendly, breathable, soft and comfortable headwear. A conscious choice to your body and mind.
small scale & minimum waste
We are a slow fashion brand and to reduce overstock waste all our pieces are made to order. To promote the exclusivity and individuality of the pieces we have a small scale production and limited quantities.
We believe in ethical, eco, and lasting fashion to have the pleasure of wear beautiful and well-made accessories.

local production
Our slow fashion movement prioritizes the local against to the global, promotes socio-environmental awareness and contributes to the confidence between producers and consumers. Our goal is to make accessories from locally-sourced material while assuring the fair-trade.
Handmade
All of our pieces are crafted with love and care by local seamstresses in Porto.
For us, creating handmade goods brings the sense of community. The beauty in handmade items is that each piece is unique. Our mission is to create pieces that can be worn again and again for decades to come, without getting out of style or falling apart. We believe that there is a genuine, living spirit in a handmade piece that makes it worth hanging on to.
