MARLEA, a fashion brand from Monte-Carlo
MARLEA is a women’s fashion brand from Monaco, founded in June 2021 by two friends, Marine and Léa. Together they design every collection: printed dresses, jumpsuits, embroidered sets and evening pieces with feathers, sequins or rhinestones, made for life on the Riviera, from lunch by the sea until the end of the night.
Dresses designed in Monte-Carlo
Every MARLEA print is created by the brand before it is printed on carefully chosen fabrics: Pink Lotus, Jade, Amber, Blue Palm Tree… Styles are made in limited quantities so each piece stays rare, and fabric offcuts become scrunchies, bandanas and pouches.
Between Monaco and India
Léa lives in India, and the embroidery in the collections celebrates Indian craftsmanship. Monaco brings the rest: the sparkle, the parties and the elegance of the Riviera, at prices that stay within reach.
The Métropole boutique and the online shop
Find the whole collection at our boutique in Métropole Shopping, 17 avenue des Spélugues, Monte-Carlo, steps from Casino Square, or online with worldwide shipping: dresses, rhinestone jeans, feather pieces and partywear.
MARLEA
A fashion scene is taking shape in Monaco
“Made in Monaco” really does exist, and MARLEA, born in June 2021, is the proof: a new brand created during lockdown by two friends, Marine and Léa.
They imagined their ideal wardrobe, one that feels like holidays on the French Riviera: jumpsuits for the hottest days, embroidered sets with feather trims for the evening. A collection in their image, feminine, free-spirited and colourful, found exclusively at Métropole Shopping in Monaco.
L’Officiel
INSPIRATION
MARLEA is the Monaco brand that brings the spirit of the Principality to its collections at accessible prices, where luxury meets the attainable. Its first inspiration is the Principality itself, with very Côte d’Azur cuts, alongside prints inspired by the whole world and above all by India, where one of the designers, Léa, lives. It is the meeting of two worlds that could not be more different: India, with its exceptional craftsmanship, and Monaco, known for its sparkle, its casinos and its legendary nights.
Marine and Léa also find inspiration in their travels, in museums, books, cushions, wallpaper, plates… nothing escapes them! The embroidery comes from a wish to share Indian savoir-faire: its artisans are among the very best, and this is a heritage they want to share through their designs. Naturally, the collections are full of colourful, festive and feminine pieces that go with women everywhere, from morning to night.
EXCLUSIVE
Every print is designed in-house before being printed on carefully selected fabrics. The true signature of the label, these prints make each piece unmistakably MARLEA.
MARLEA is the woman who travels, an epicurean who never has much room in her suitcase, who watches the sunset in a bohemian skirt and ends the night in a sequin dress. MARLEA is ageless, with exclusive designs in limited quantities. And that’s just how we like it.
OUR COMMITMENTS
MATERIALS: All our prints are designed in-house and printed with Japanese organic inks. We favour fabrics of natural origin, such as cotton, viscose and silk.
ETHICS: Our partners and factories are chosen with care for a transparent production chain, and most of our factories are certified. We visit them regularly to check that workers’ rights are respected.
MADE TO LAST: Beautiful clothes, made the right way. Our collections are designed to last and produced in limited quantities to avoid surplus. Fabric offcuts become accessories: scrunchies, headbands, pouches…
GIRL POWER: Marine & Léa run the brand entirely themselves, from designing the collections to sales, strategy and communication. Collections designed by two women for women, with one mantra: to make every woman shine.
