'Stay Marvellous' addresses the 'E' for environmental within ESG. It’s all about the environmental impact we have as a brand. This means understanding the different drivers behind our footprint by looking at factors such as our production processes, material usage and packaging. We measure our environmental footprint and develop strategies to reduce, mitigate and compensate for our carbon emissions.
At MR MARVIS, we're all about creating clothes that last. Each new style gets ample love and care, as we invest a lot of time and effort into creating perfect garments. All our garments are crafted to perfection from day one, with the best materials and top-notch craftsmanship. We have a designated fit technician in our design team to make sure the fit is just right, and our team in Porto keeps an eye on things to make sure it's all done fairly and safely.
Our brand promise is not to change the look, fit and feel of our garments after we've launched them. This comes with an advantage because you only have to find your perfect fit once. It also means that we never overstock or hold end-of-season-sales. We have never and will never discard garments that can still be worn.
Since 2021, we’ve been on a mission to track and reduce the environmental footprint of our collection. That’s why we evaluate a product’s ecological impact – from raw fibres to the end of a garment's life cycle. In 2024, we turned it up a notch by teaming up with Vaayu. With this powerful tool, we can track our emissions and set reduction targets in even further detail, improving transparency and promoting a more sustainable balance between our impact and the planet. We didn’t stop there. To ensure you can make the most informed purchasing decisions, we added detailed infographics to our garment description pages, packed with emissions info.
Lately, we've been focusing on switching The Originals to organic cotton while committing to using only organic cotton for new collections. We're also exploring ways to incorporate more recycled materials in our designs. While making garments entirely from recycled materials isn't possible yet because recycled fibres alone aren't strong enough, we've found a solution: blending virgin cotton with recycled cotton. We used this approach with The Jeans, which are made using a blend that includes 20% recycled cotton. This cut down on carbon emissions and water consumption.
Our garments are made to last a long time. We put a lot of effort into creating the ultimate fit, using premium materials and partnering with the best craftsmen and women we can find. It would be a waste of all this effort if an item would be discarded after only a short time of wearing. Especially if it’s an easy fix.
For most quick fixes, we offer a free repair service*
Here's how it works:
By the way, did you know that last year alone, we repaired 117 garments, saving them from ending up in a landfill? It's all part of our commitment to slow fashion.

Did you know that when you wash synthetic fabrics, like polyester or polyamide, they can shed microplastics? These minuscule particles end up in rivers and oceans, endangering both nature and human health. That's why we have partnered with Guppyfriend to offer their washing bags on our website. The Guppyfriend washing bag prevents up to 90% of microplastics from entering the water. And on top of all that, the proceeds from all Guppyfriend bags purchased via the MR MARVIS website will be donated to plastic cleanup projects in collaboration with Sumthing.
