  1. Guppyfriend

    Protect Your Garments, Protect the Ocean

    MR MARVIS has partnered with Guppyfriend to provide an environmentally preferred solution: the Guppyfriend washing bag. These single-sheet (and therefore non-shedding) polyester bags filter up to 90% of microplastic pollution during the washing cycle, vastly reducing potential waste. As an added benefit, the Guppyfriend washing bags also provide significant protection against abrasion, extending the lifespan of your delicate garments and shielding them from pilling.

    But, why stop at just preventing plastic pollution? To maximise our impact, all profits from Guppyfriend bags sold by MR MARVIS will go towards coastal cleanup projects in Cambodia facilitated by our partner, Sumthing.

  2. MR MARVIS joined Fur Free Alliance

    We are – and have always been – fur-free

    But now it's official too! Because MR MARVIS has joined the Fur Free Retailer programme. The Fur Free Retailer programme is an international initiative of the Fur Free Alliance, a coalition of more than 50 of the world's leading wildlife and environmental protection organisations. The programme encourages companies to go fur-free and provides consumers with accurate information about each retailer's fur policy. This enables customers to make informed choices when shopping.

    The fur-free pledge

    Despite never incorporating real fur into our collections at MR MARVIS, we have chosen to join the pledge. Our decision extends beyond our brand alone; we hope to encourage other retailers to also adopt a fur-free policy.

    Animal welfare policy

    We are incorporating an Animal Welfare policy into our Supplier Code of Conduct. Currently, our Code of Conduct sets out clear expectations for fair wages, safe working conditions, and environmental stewardship. As we strive to be a responsible company that ensures ethical and fair practices for all parties, including wildlife, we aim to implement a concrete Animal Welfare Policy by the end of the year. As part of our research, we concluded that the standards set by the Fur Free Retailer programme coincide with our own values.

    Be Marvellous, B Corp: our 2023 Action Report

    Since March 2023, MR MARVIS has been the largest Dutch clothing brand with the B Corp Certification. As a B Corp, MR MARVIS is counted among businesses spearheading a global movement for an inclusive, equitable and regenerative economy. As part of our B Corp identity, we're committed to publishing an Action Report every year. In this report, you can read everything you need to know about our efforts and plans concerning sustainability and social responsibility. You can find the full report via the link below. To give you a sneak peek, here are some highlights that are shared in the report:

    • In 2023, 21,913 garments were reconditioned and 1,117 were repaired, preventing them from going to waste.
    • With Justdiggit we've set a target to regreen 1,460 hectares in Tanzania.
    • In 2023, we donated €116,901 to charities.
    • By switching to organic cotton for The Longs, we saved 46 tons of CO2. This equals 46 hot air balloons.

    For those who missed the memo: what is B Corp again?

    B Corps (short for Benefit Corporations) are commercial companies that meet high standards of conscious decision-making. B Corps commit to public transparency and legal accountability to balance profit with purpose for people and the planet. To become a Certified B Corporation, a company has to do the so-called B Impact Assessment (BIA). This is an elaborate questionnaire that assesses a company on five impact areas: Governance, Customers, Workers, Community and Environment. It sounds simpler than it actually is: it requires a certain type of company DNA and – in our case – more than two years of preparation to take the right steps. Companies need to score at least 80 points (out of the total 200) to become a Certified B Corp. In the Netherlands, the average score is 83.7 points. MR MARVIS scored 101.7 on the B Impact Assessment. A score to be proud of.

    To keep the B Corp status, companies must recertify every three years. Since we certified in 2023, 2026 will be our moment of truth again. That may seem far away, but we are ambitious and given the changes we're looking to implement, it's really just around the corner. To make these changes happen, we've thought out 50 projects to undertake in 2024. Some initiatives are already in the making: for example establishing a Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI) committee, collaborating with other like-minded B Corps from the fashion industry to tackle industry challenges together and developing a MR MARVIS recycling program.

  5. short terries

    The Terry Collection

    Comfort is key, especially when it's hot out there. That's why we've decided to create a pair of shorts in the most comfortable and softest material we could think of: terry towelling, woven from 100% organic cotton. We used this tactile fabric to design our new Short Terries and some matching tops, so you can opt for a contemporary, matching look – if you feel like it. But why is terry cloth our fabric of choice this summer? Well, it's super soft, it's absorbent, and it's also marvellously stylish with a sporty touch. For our terry collection, we use a single-sided terry fabric with a loop-like texture on the outside and a smooth surface on the inside.

    Soft, supple and suave, that's how we'd describe our Short Terries. They have a relaxed fit and feature an elasticated waistband with adjustable drawstrings and welt pockets with magnetic fasteners at the rear. These shorts may very well be our ultimate leisure style: think of yourself wearing these while lounging by the poolside or enjoying the sunset aboard a sailing boat.

    Want to earn some extra style points? Pair them with a top in the same fabric. The Terry Shirt is a laid-back summer must-have in a relaxed shape that features buttons with a mother-of-pearl look, a revere collar and two large patch chest pockets.

    For a more sporty take on terry, try our new Terry Polo. Classic silhouette, contemporary look – The Terry Polo is the perfect addition to your rotation of polo shirts this season and ideal for leisure time.

    Have we convinced you to join Team Terry? Get your Short Terries now in one of our seven marvellous colours and don't forget to try a style to match – or contrast – them with our Terry Shirt or Terry Polo.

  8. Plant-a-tree Friday

    PLANT-A-TREE FRIDAY

    As the world dives into Black Friday shopping for items often deemed unnecessary, we're delighted to introduce Plant-A-Tree Friday!

    Waste created by Black Friday shopping is truly momentous - according to Green Alliance, up to 80% of products purchased during Black Friday sales are discarded within a few uses. MR MARVIS stands for quality garments that are made to last. The timeless design of our collection, the choice of more sustainable materials, and fair compensation for our partners means we cannot and will not take part in Black Friday.

    Instead, we introduce Plant-A-Tree Friday. On this day, we will give back to the planet by planting a tree for every pair of trousers purchased. Since 2021, we have compensated for our emissions through regreening projects with Justdiggit. On Plant-A-Tree Friday, we will double down our efforts and contribute to the Green Friday Forest in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, initiated by the non-profit reforestation foundation Trees for All.

    TREES FOR ALL

    Based in The Netherlands, Trees for All has facilitated over 107 reforestation projects around the world since their founding in 1999. From Asia through Africa to right here in Europe, Trees for All has planted 9.6 million trees, equal to around 683,000 tons of re-compensated Co2 emissions.

    MR MARVIS IS A CERTIFIED B CORPORATION

    As a B Corp, we’re part of a global community of businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental impact. Companies with a B Corp certification are committed to balancing profit with purpose for people & planet. It’s something we work hard for and are proud of. And you, as a customer at MR MARVIS, can feel proud too.
