Mary Katrantzou is delving into the world of swim with a new line
called Mary Mare. The line will introduce new styles throughout the
year and exist alongside Katrantzou’s main line, rather than as a
diffusion line.
Katrantzou unveiled her plans for Mary Mare to WWD this week,
mentioning that the line will center around natural fabrics and
inclusive sizing up to U.S. size 24. The designer announced earlier
this month that her main line is set to release a wider range of
sizing by the end of this year.
Similar to the plan for Mary mare, the core collection will also be
available up to a size 24; previously the brand produced sizing up to
an 18.
“It’s something we’ve discussed for the last three years
internally, along with some of our wholesale clients,” Katrantzou told
Glamour. “They’ve shared with us their intentions to buy bigger sizes,
as those sizes are the ones that sell out first.”
Harper’s Bazaar reported that Mary Mare will launch next April and
retail between 140 and 1,400 GBP, which is roughly 180 to 1,775
USD.
