We can’t think of a better way to spend the summer! We also have a lot of travels planned during the next few weeks. There are trade shows happening in Paris and in London that we'd like to check out. And we are visiting tanneries and manufacturers to plan the next steps of our new products, soon to launch!

This is why for a limited time we are hosting one of our only sales featuring leather items with minor stains, scratches, small glue residuals or simply storing marks.

Read moreWe keep getting messages from people asking us why we use real leather to make our products. They say it's not sustainable, but, in fact, it is very sustainable. We only use local skins that would otherwise have to be burned - a complete waste of resources in an already resource strapped world.
Read moreIt's already been a year since we celebrated our launch. With MARAI, we have not only launched a brand dedicated to the sustainable production of beautiful and durable products, but also to create awareness about the connection between agriculture, food and fashion.
