Marion Maternity

Project

MARION emerged as chic maternity fashion, addressing the dire need for quality work-appropriate maternity styles. Born out of Joy O’Renick's personal struggle to find quality, professional maternity wear during her pregnancy, the brand aims to bridge the gap in the market. While women continue to break glass ceilings and start families later in life, their needs, especially during pregnancy, have remained unaddressed. MARION's sustainable fashion line ensures women no longer have to compromise on style or professionalism during maternity.

1. Innovation in Design: Recognizing the void in professional maternity wear, MARION introduced designs suitable for formal work settings, while also seamlessly transitioning to social outings like dinner dates and brunches. With an eye on post-pregnancy needs, almost all designs include concealed nursing access.
2. Commitment to Sustainability: Sustainability is woven into the fabric of the brand. From the choice of materials, primarily sourced from natural fibers or recycled content, to the use of 100% compostable and natural shipping containers, MARION ensures eco-conscious choices at every step. Additionally, the brand adopts carbon-neutral shipping.
3. Extended Size Range:MARION emphasizes inclusivity by offering both petite and standard lengths. Plans are underway to further extend the size range with every new collection.
4. Community & Equity Focus: Beyond fashion, MARION pledges a portion of its profits to support women's healthcare and girls' education globally. Their forthcoming buy-back program aims to make quality maternity wear accessible to professional women with budget constraints.
5. Market Differentiation: MARION successfully positioned itself distinctively in the maternity fashion segment with fourteen pieces of coverage in 2 months, catering to both professional and post-pregnancy needs of women.
6. Sustainability Recognition: The brand's unwavering commitment to sustainable practices solidified its reputation as an environmentally conscious choice in maternity wear.
7. Inclusivity Initiatives: By offering a diverse size range and planning further extensions, MARION resonated with a broader spectrum of expecting mothers.

To cater to the multi-faceted needs of expecting mothers, MARION's approach was comprehensive and values-driven:
