We're proud of our partnership with Femnet e.V., an organization that performs critically important work advocating for the rights of women in the global textile industry. When thinking about how best to support Femnet over the long term, we came up with the idea to create a project that would allow us to contribute donations on an ongoing basis. The result? Our 100% linen SOCIAL BAG.

The Social Bag was developed in collaboration with our friends from Marin et Marine. From the very beginning of MYMARINI, fair working conditions and high ecological and social standards throughout the supply chain were an absolute must for us. Unfortunately, these standards are still not met in most parts of the fashion industry. With the Social Bag, we want to raise awareness and set an example for better working conditions in the fashion industry!

We met with the sisters of the designer bag label from Berlin and planned a shopper with added value as a limited edition. Marin et Marine works with traditional manufacturers in Germany to ensure the best quality, fair wages, and good working standards. The timeless design made from 100% linen is not only a sustainable beach essential for our customers but also supports the non-profit women's rights organization FEMNET e. V. Inside The Social Bag, there is a label with information about the work and activities of the organization.
The campaign for the limited edition of the Social Bag (120 pieces) was launched simultaneously with Fashion Revolution Week 2022. By purchasing a shopper, our customers actively support the work of FEMNET e.V., as the entire profit (100%) is donated.

We need a rethinking, we need an awareness of the value of fashion. And we need more appreciation for the people at the beginning of the supply chain, absolutely! FEMNET e.V. is a non-profit women's rights organization based in Bonn, which since its founding in 2007 has been campaigning, educating, and advising, as well as implementing projects with partners on the ground for better working conditions in the garment industry in the Global South. The principles of our work are the sustainability goals, gender equality, decent
work, and sustainable consumption.

Women's rights are human rights. Women should be able to lead self-determined lives. But millions of women and girls working in the global textile industry produce our fashion under the most difficult conditions. We want to ensure through our work that they are fairly paid and that they do not have to experience violence in their workplaces. [...] That is why we work with our partners on the ground to, among other things, build women's unions.

The SOCIAL BAG costs €125. €46 of that sum covers our design, sourcing, production, and transport costs as well as employee wages. The leftover €79 are the profit for each bag sold. 100% of these profits go to FEMNET, which allows us to cover our cost price and still donate almost 2/3 of the sales price.
