MEREINA - STYLISH SWEATER

After nearly three decades of dressing South African women, the time has come to say a heartfelt goodbye. MARIE & JAN has been woven into the fabric of our lives — mine and Pieter's — for longer than we can count. What started as a vision between two people in love in Cape Town grew into a community of women who understood that quality and timeless style matter more than fleeting trends.

Over the past few years, the landscape has shifted. Rising costs, the relentless pace of fast fashion, and the pressure to compete with mass-market retailers have made it harder to keep going. And if we are honest — jan's knees aren't what they used to be, and we have grandchildren we've been promising to spend more time with. After 35 years, we've decided to go out on our own terms, with our heads held high and our values intact.

Thirty-five years together. In life, and in fashion. And we wouldn't change a single moment.

So before we lock these doors for the very last time, we're doing something we've never done before — offering up to 80% off across our entire collection. Because the women who stood by us for three and a half decades deserve more than just a thank you.

Every order, every message about the dress that made you feel beautiful, every woman who chose quality over quantity — it has meant everything to us.

This isn't just the closing of a store — it's the end of nearly three decades shared with South African women who made MARIE & JAN what it is. We will carry every single one of you with us into this next chapter. 💛

With all our love,
Marie & Jan
