Sustainable Fashion and Beauty

Our mis­sion is to make the world more beau­ti­ful. More than an ide­al, it is also very prac­ti­cal. When it comes to shar­ing life and all that it holds, we are on the same team. The throw­away men­tal­i­ty of a fast-fash­ion cul­ture is not sus­tain­able. Nor is it desir­able. Geor­gio Armani once said, “The dif­fer­ence between fash­ion and style is qual­i­ty.” Good qual­i­ty lasts and is there­fore always in style, because it is tied to some­thing deep­er – beau­ty. Beau­ty gives us enthu­si­asm for liv­ing, and we want to build more of this into the lives of our customers. 

This is our niche. In short, we believe that sus­tain­abil­i­ty can be reached by striv­ing for beau­ty. Such prod­ucts take time to make. They are cre­at­ed by skilled arti­sans, and often made in small batch­es or cus­tom-made orders. As a result, they are cher­ished, main­tained, and passed on to future generations.

Mary Grace start­ed her blog in 2013, short­ly after her Ukrain­ian grand­moth­er  passed away. 

“Marusya” is Mary Grace’s name in Ukrain­ian. The blog is dou­ble Marusya (“Marusya! Marusya!”) because her Ukrain­ian name was used when she was called for or scold­ed by her moth­er and grandmother.
