We are inspired by the desire to give a second life through constant experimentation and the restrictions imposed by us according to our ideals of sustainability, conceptually respecting the shape of the materials we work with and putting artisanal techniques into practice.

We conceive Maribaudi as much more than a clothing brand — it is also our artistic practice, our way of living life, creating and experiencing our human existence. It is a personal research on how we present ourself to the world.

Each item is made by hand by us, using modern upcycling techniques we've developed. We work with second-hand clothes, dead stock fabrics, and yarns.

The ceramic rings, made one by one by hand, are part of our collections — along with other found objects from daily life: mother of pearl buttons, natural elements, forgotten bits.

The brand’s philosophy is simple: do the most with what one has, finds or is given, ensuring 100% sustainable creations. Our work is an indirect critique of capitalist society, overproduction, low product quality, and the absence of artistic freedom. We do not believe in alternatives — for us, there is no other way to create.

Photography, ceramics, glass, leather work, patchwork, fabric manipulation, natural dyeing, mending, basket weaving, shoemaking, crocheting, hand machine knitting — these practices nurture our vision and enable us to bring our work to life in a personal, experimental way.

We want to create desirable objects from materials that, at first glance, might seem unusable. We like to surprise — our pieces should make you ask "why?" or "how?". We hope they spark something.

Our work lives between contemporary art and design, playing with and questioning the limits of both disciplines.

The pieces made from second-hand clothing are in collaboration with SOLIDANÇA Roba Amiga. They manage textile waste with the dual goal of reducing landfill waste and employing people at risk of social exclusion.
