Our Sustainable Commitment

Second-hand is at the heart of our DNA. Marjolen was born of the conviction that fashion and environmental responsibility are not incompatible.

Why second-hand?

The fashion industry is one of the most polluting in the world. Producing a single pair of jeans requires around 7,500 litres of water. By choosing second-hand, you extend the lifespan of clothing and directly reduce the demand for new production.

Every item bought at Marjolen is a piece saved from waste. It is a concrete, accessible and stylish gesture toward more responsible consumption.

Our concrete commitments

  • Zero fast-fashion : we decline fast-fashion brands and focus on durable quality pieces.
  • Recycled packaging : we use recycled and reusable packaging materials for all our shipments.
  • Optimised shipping : we consolidate orders and favour carriers with environmental commitments.
  • Lasting pieces : every item is prepared to last many more years in a new closet.
  • Transparency : we describe each item honestly to avoid needless returns and extra shipping.
