SET DESIGNER
MA929 is a purpose-driven apparel brand created for overcomers—women who survived what tried to break them and are now unlearning survival mode. Rooted in faith, inspired by Matthew 9:29, and centered on self-worth, our pieces honor survivors, celebrate melanin, and embrace everyBODY.
This is for those realizing they no longer have to trade softness for strength to be safe.
Here, strength and softness coexist.
You are allowed to rest, heal, and still be powerful.
Strength is the new softness.
More about the designer:
MARIE ANTOINETTE
Marie Antoinette was born and raised in Tampa, Florida.
Passionate about community initiatives that encourage healthcare education and supports children as well as single parent homes, Marie studied healthcare services, which led her into the field of anesthesiology.
With a deep-rooted curiosity about fashion and art and how these industry sectors impact inclusivity, Marie’s true calling emerged when a woman in a fabric store told her “you're pretty for a dark-skinned girl”. Surprised that skin tone and color was still such a big part of society’s narrative, Marie started development on MELANIN; a documentary, book and lifestyle brand that positively demystifies COLORISM (the biased or prejudicial treatment of people belonging to the same race, based on skin pigmentation).
