From Dreams to Reality: The Story of Coco by Maree

Our Story:

Coco by Maree was born in September 2020, in the midst of the pandemic. It was a time of significant personal and global changes.

With my eldest daughter studying in the United States and my youngest daughter about to graduate high school in 2021, I decided it was the perfect moment to pursue my dream of becoming an entrepreneur.

The pandemic revealed the urgent need for our island to produce, grow, and manufacture locally. Thus, Coco by Maree emerged with a clear and passionate mission.

Our Purpose

• Customer Orientation: We are committed to providing exceptional service.
• Quality: We ensure that every piece is unique and of the highest quality.
• Environment: We are dedicated to sustainable practices that respect our planet.
• Social Awareness: We strive to contribute positively to society and support important causes.

Our Mission

We want every person who purchases a piece from Coco by Maree to experience magical moments. We aim for each garment to become part of unforgettable memories.

We envision exporting our creations from Puerto Rico to every corner of the world, sharing the essence of our island everywhere.

Our Promise

We offer the assurance of unique pieces, crafted with a "slow fashion" approach.

Our exclusive prints are designed specifically for our brand. Furthermore, our production is environmentally responsible, utilizing eco-friendly inks and non-polluting processes.

Our Commitment to the Environment

The fashion industry is one of the largest polluters, which is why Coco by Maree stands firmly against "fast fashion." Our fabrics are locally sourced, and the inks we use are certified as eco-friendly.

Our manufacturing processes are environmentally conscious, avoiding water use in printing and ensuring that our printers emit no pollutants.

We Support a Cause

Since being diagnosed with lupus in 1996, I have dedicated myself to educating others about this autoimmune condition. For this reason, we support lupus.org and Lupus Puerto Rico, contributing to awareness and assistance for those in need. When you shop at cocobymaree.com, you’re also supporting a meaningful cause.

Meet Our Founder

I am María López Rosario: a daughter, mother, wife, and a woman passionate about serving others. The local needle provided food for my family as I grew up, instilling in me a deep appreciation for manufacturing in the country that raised me. Every piece from Coco by Maree reflects that passion and dedication.
