Our Journey

"The meaning behind the name"

Pronounced ‘MA-RAY’, MARAI is actually an accidental misspelling of ‘Mirai’ which is the Japanese word for ‘The Future’ -what we have created with this misspelling is a metaphor for us utilizing the brand to make our own future.
MARAI started with a simple idea: to create luxury garments that could be worn every day, no compromises. We wanted pieces that felt as good at brunch as they did at a late-night event, blending style, comfort, and durability seamlessly. MARAI isn’t just a brand; it’s a response to the lack of clean, everyday menswear that wasn’t covered in logos or loud branding.

With years of experience in the fashion industry, and after running a multi-brand store, we saw the gap. The market had plenty of options, but none that struck the balance between high-quality fabrics and minimalist design that could transition with you throughout the day. So, we took matters into our own hands.
MARAI was designed to be lived in—a collection of timeless, technical pieces that don’t just sit in your wardrobe but are staples you reach for every day.

Funny enough, the name itself was a happy accident. We meant to call it 'Mirai,' the Japanese word for 'The Future,' but a spelling error turned into 'MARAI.' In the end, it felt perfect. MARAI became a metaphor for taking control of our own future—building a brand that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.
