BIO

marfar designs was launched by Maria Farhatt in fall 2004 with the idea that, by creating a line that was mindful in all respects, a designer could have a positive impact on the fashion industry. Maria blends inspiration from her Midwest upbringing, New York fashion school training, and several years of designing in the San Francisco Bay Area.

All designs at marfar are mindful of the environment, and of the people who work to create them. They begin with materials that have a minimal impact on the environment, including organic and hemp fabrics, low-impact dyes, and waterbased inks. All manufacturing - fabric-cutting, sewing, dying, and screenprinting - takes place at independent Bay Area shops.

Most importantly, every marfar design is mindful of the wearer. The apparel is versatile and wearable, pairing comfy knits with stylish cuts. And because each piece is made with the earth in mind, a woman can look good and feel good in marfar.
