MARYAN MEHLHORN
ABOUT US
We are committed to the quality of every product.
Founded in 1946, we have been convinced of the uniqueness of women for over 75 years, when we started as a manufacturer of high-quality lingerie. Based on this expertise, the premium swimwear brand MARYAN MEHLHORN was founded in the mid-1970s.
The heart of our brand is the almost obsessive dedication to craftsmanship and fit. Our experience with form-fitting garments and the handling of elastic fabrics has allowed us to become one of the most expert houses in the creation of high-end swimwear.
From day one, we design and develop all products in our original workshop in southern Germany with highly skilled developers, pattern makers and tailors.
MARYAN MEHLHORN honors the refined craftsmanship that our employees bring to the house's collections. We pay tribute to our atelier that provides us with everything from lace to buttons and delicate embroidery.
Craftsmanship is at the heart of our brand. Our designs are not only about combining beauty and function, but also about preserving a legacy of handmade products and exceptional detailing. We ensure that the art of craftsmanship in swimwear is kept alive.
Our consumers value handmade. They value thoughtful products that defy the concept of throwaway fashion. The design, development and production of swimwear and bikinis requires experience, patience and craftsmanship. Using traditional techniques and high-quality materials, skilled artisans such as tailors, designers and pattern makers work together to create unique and functional swimwear.
SUSTAINABILITY
Our swimwear and bikinis are not designed to cause a ruckus. We focus on sustainability throughout the lifecycle of a product and our overall company footprint. We don’t limit our efforts to using a primary fabric with recycled content.
Sustainable swimwear is sustainable because it lasts. Consuming less and wearing products for longer leaves the least impact on our environment. We prefer to work with local partners whenever possible. A large portion of the fabrics are sourced from Europe. A large part of the production process takes place within the European Union, which is also the heart of our distribution. We are constantly testing and evaluating a variety of low-impact materials and have introduced the first fabrics in which fossil oil is replaced by natural materials.
We approach sustainability as a process of continuous improvement and innovation. We can improve every year by exploring new sustainable practices, from design to manufacturing, logistics, packaging and building management.
Our sustainability status to date:
50% of products are made in the EU
100% of main fabrics are sourced from Europe
80% of trims and accessories are sourced from Europe
100% of packaging materials are made from or contain recycled materials
Warehouse and head office generate 50% of electricity consumed through solar panels
