How it all began...
I'm truly grateful for your visit; it means the world to me.
I'm Marina, and I'm eager to share with you the heartfelt journey of how Made came to be. It all unfolded in my cozy little condo in Toronto, which had a touch of that iconic "Sex and the City" charm.
The last few years have been a whirlwind - my father faced a challenging battle with a brain aneurysm, while my mom bravely fought breast cancer. Amidst all this, my relationship ended unexpectedly, plunging me into a profound darkness. Having grappled with depression and anxiety since my youth, I found myself in a daunting spiral, my mental well-being deteriorating rapidly.
In the midst of this storm, the idea for Made was born, and it ignited a fire within me like never before. My vision for Made is simple yet powerful - to be a beacon of hope during life's darkest hours, just as it was for me. I want it to serve as a gentle reminder that within every woman lies an unwavering strength and resilience capable of conquering any obstacle.
My dream was to craft a brand that fosters sisterhood and unity among women, one that propels them toward their highest potential. Made isn't just about trendy styles and soft fabrics; it's about making a meaningful difference in the lives of women. We're dedicated to nurturing audacious dreams and fostering positive mindsets. Made stands as a testament to the belief that everything will fall into place as it's meant to, no matter the challenges we face.
Today, I'm overjoyed to share that my father has triumphed over two surgeries, and my mother has emerged victorious in her battle against breast cancer. The heartbreak I endured became the catalyst that fueled my determination to pursue my dreams with unwavering resolve. Supported by my incredible brand and the remarkable women in my life, I found the courage and faith to navigate through the darkest of times and prioritize self-love. The passion I hold for using clothing as a means of uplifting others became my guiding light through the darkest of nights. I am bursting with excitement at the prospect of empowering women to thrive in every aspect of their lives.
Thank you for being a part of this journey. Together, let's inspire and uplift one another to new heights!
Warm regards,
Marina
