Testimonials

What is it like to collaborate with us?

“Mari has been an instrumental partner to the development and growth of our knitwear program. Her wealth of knowledge and creative direction is unmatched. Her work elevating our brand with specialized details has been instrumental in our success. We've experienced incredible results at market events, selling nearly four times more than we typically do at pop-ups. The collection is receiving such positive feedback from customers! Additionally, an order was replenished at a pro shop after being on the floor for just one day, selling out more than half of what they ordered. These thoughtful design elements have not only helped us expand our presence in more stores but have also significantly boosted our wholesale business.”

Unlike other suppliers who were indifferent, Mari's 'can-do' attitude aligned perfectly with my vision and needs. Despite the ups and downs, she approached each challenge as an opportunity for problem-solving, believing in our ability to succeed. If you’re considering launching a knitwear collection, especially with intricate designs, I highly recommend Mari—she’s the right person to guide you through!”

“Working alongside Mari to design our first knitwear collection was such a joy. She thoughtfully connected us with female producers in Peru to align with our brand values. Not only did she immediately understand the direction we wanted to take with these pieces, but she also designed timeless, heirloom pieces that will last for generations and exceed our expectations. Her expertise and connections were undoubtedly essential to bringing this collection to life.”
