Marronage…the meaning of which is to “emancipate one’s self”, think about that for a second. Setting yourself free, opening up to who you really are and embracing it. Of late, we have thought a lot about the freedom to relax. The freedom to renew. Create. Invigorate. Rejuvenate. Rebel. Love. The freedom to be who we really are. The freedom to find yourself.
With that in mind, we created Marronage, a brand that embraces the different personalities in all of us, beginning with six archetypes.
Nurturer. Lover. Visionary. Wanderer. Artist. Warrior. Who among us is not at least one of these archetypes or knows and admires someone who is? A combo perhaps? Our individual identities are very real and worthy of proclamation. So shout to the rooftops your ability to see into the future of technology or trends if you are a VISIONARY. Let the world know that your calling is to create art, poetry or music if you are an ARTIST. If you live to care for loved ones as well as strangers wear the banner of NURTURER proudly.
How does this relate to intimate apparel? It doesn’t really but Marronage is definitely intimate. Intimate in it’s voice about who we are and intimate in it’s ability to spark recognition and delight. Mull over your conquests when you sip from our LOVER Mug while wearing Matouk’s Waffle Robe.
Sometimes the mind wanders when doing the mundane, perhaps you will dream of far away places while using our WANDERER Tea Towel and wearing Eileen West’s Floral Delight Chemise.
Our decorative pillows are a bold statement that can liven any sofa and definitely ignite cocktail party conversation. A warrior’s work is never done, so head out carrying our WARRIOR Tote, and wearing perhaps PJ Harlow’s Cozy Sweats.
Send a greeting card to someone to show them that you see who they are and that their distinguishing quality is one of the reasons they are special to you. All you need is your signature, we do the rest. Marronage is personal.
Marronage will be available in the Spring of 23’ and we will debut and take orders at Curve NY this July/August, stop by and Find Yourself, Free Yourself!
Tina Wilson and Megan Mardiney. Founders.
