Inspired to support small businesses, the designer debuts a new platform to help independent designers and craftspeople

Marie France Van Damme, the Hong Kong-based designer known for her globally influenced line of luxury resort, ready-to-wear, and swim, has introduced Curated by MF.

“In a time of health crisis and economic uncertainty, as small business owners, we have to support one another to weather the current downturn. I have been traveling the world for the past 40 years,” says Marie France Van Damme. “On my journey, I have developed relationships with craftspeople from the Souks of Marrakesh, with traders in the bustling streets of Hong Kong and Bangkok and with small business owners from around the globe. Let me introduce you to my very talented friends who share my passions. They work with the finest artisans, their creations are limited, beautiful, and are ethically sourced.”

Featuring one-of-a kind pieces for home, entertaining, and travel, as well as food and collectibles, “Curated by MF” features a curated selection of Marie France Van Damme’s favorite items from L’Objet to Jay Ahr’s limited-edition collection of vintage hand-embroidered Vuitton and Hermes Birkin, Kelly and Constance handbags. In addition, “Curated by MF” features a curated selection of hand-crafted luxury jewelry from Luis Morais and unique and distinctive handmade jewelry and objets d’art from Lotus Arts De Vivre from Thailand. Every two weeks, Marie France Van Damme will introduce a new designer and showcase a curated selection of their artisanal items.

Marie France Van Damme will also introduce an exclusive collection of private label pieces that she buys in Marrakesh, Italy, and Bangkok on her travels, helping the small communities in those countries. The first MF Private Collection debuted with the launch of leather trays from a small factory in Genoa, Italy, in the designer’s signature metallic color palette in gold, silver, dark silver, and bronze. New this week, is an exclusive collection of Babouche slippers handmade in the souks of Marrakesh, Morocco using Marie France Van Damme’s silk fabrics.
