At MARQUES, we aim to innovate and engrave our name into the "subtle oppulence" space over time, not only pushing boundaries but also being environmentally conscious. Our unwavering persistence and meticulous research have led us to establish new partnerships and reinforce our values, resulting in a breakthrough in our garment creation process. We are thrilled to announce that we are now able to provide you with a range of personalized textiles that are entirely made in our home country of Portugal. This exciting development allows us to reduce our environmental impact while maintaining full control over our creations and upholding our uncompromising quality standards. Our archival pieces, renowned for their timeless appeal, will now be crafted from high-quality materials made from locally sourced organic fibers. This strategic shift in our production chain not only reduces production time across our collections, including bespoke orders, but also has a positive impact on our cost structure. As a result, we are able to recalibrate the prices of select garments, making them reach new people worldwide. We understand that our clients value choice, and rest assured, our garments can still be commissioned in the exquisite Italian silk that we have always offered. However, going forward, these commissioned pieces will fall under the umbrella of our bespoke atelier, and quotes can be obtained upon request through email. At MARQUES, our commitment to excellence and innovation remains unwavering. We are proud of the progress we have made in our garment creation process, and we are excited to share these exciting developments with you, our esteemed clientele. Thank you for your continued support as we continue to raise the bar in the world of fashion, creating garments that are not only luxurious, but also mindful of the world we live in.
