How it all began...
I'm truly grateful for your visit, it means the world to me.
I'm Marina, and I'd love to share the heartfelt journey behind MADE. It all began in my cozy Toronto condo, reminiscent of "Sex and the City." When I decided to build my brand, I had been facing some challenges in life—my father battled a brain aneurysm, my mother fought breast cancer, and I went through a tough breakup that plunged me into darkness. Struggling with depression and anxiety since my youth, I found myself in a deep spiral.
Amidst this chaos, the idea for MADE sparked a fire within me and for the first time in a while - I was able to feel again. MADE aims to be a beacon of hope during dark times, reminding every woman of her inner strength and resilience. It’s more than trendy styles and comfortable fits; it's about fostering sisterhood, unity, and positive mindsets.
Today, I'm thrilled to share that my father has triumphed through two surgeries, and my mother has kicked breast cancer in the ass! The heartbreak I faced fuelled my determination to pursue my dreams - something I will be forever grateful for.
Supported by my incredible brand and the amazing women around me, I found the courage and faith to navigate through the darkest times and prioritize self-love. My passion for using clothing to uplift others has become WHY in life, and I'm excited to empower women to thrive in every aspect of their lives as well.
Thank you for being a part of this journey. Let's stay inspired together because we are MADE for more!
