MAREN
fashion house Antwerp
est. 2019
The season,
shot in the shop.
No studio, no set. Photographed against the plaster walls of Kloosterstraat 41 over two mornings in August.
Sixty of each.
Then nothing.
Every piece is cut in a single run of sixty. When a size sells through we do not remake it. Prices include duties within the EU.
Fittings are free and unhurried. Alterations are done in house within ten days.
The wool comes from a single mill in Biella. We cut twelve pieces per season, in runs of sixty, and when they are gone they are gone.
MAREN was founded by Maren Voss in 2019, in a courtyard workshop behind the shop. Two cutters, one finisher, one table. Every seam is pressed by hand and every hem is finished twice.
We do not do wholesale, we do not do drops, and we do not do sales. The collection arrives in September and February, and the shop carries nothing else.
“A coat you buy once and explain forever.”
Lotte Claes, stylist, Antwerp
“The rare shop where the fabric does the talking.”
Émile Roche, fashion editor, Paris
