The Making of Mae

Founded in 2023, Mae is not just a brand but a representation of Maeurn’s personality. The collection, designed for everyday women, seamlessly blends comfort and style, encouraging confidence in every aspect of life.

Maeurn's story goes beyond fashion; it's a testament to her resilience as a Filipina emerging from an impoverished corner in the Philippines. In the face of adversity, she not only dared to dream but took the bold step to turn her dreams into reality.

In a cozy tête-à-tête with Maeurn, we unravel the roots of how it’s made.

 When is the brand founded?

-I've had this idea for the brand Mae floating around in my head for so long, and I finally made it happen in 2022! It's been such an exciting journey bringing my vision to life and spreading those Mae Cute vibes out into the world. I'm so grateful for all the love and support I've received so far, and I can't wait to see where this brand takes me next!

-What made you think of making Mae?

- Haha, it's actually a funny story! I was brainstorming ideas for a logo but then I realized that a logo alone wouldn't capture the essence of what I wanted my brand to be. I wanted it to be a true representation of me and my life. So, that's when the idea of "Mae" came to me! It's all about embracing who I am and sharing that positivity and happiness with others through unique and stylish designs. It's like wearing a piece of my personality! 😊💕

-What’s your biggest inspiration behind this project?

I gotta say, Tammy Hembrow is a major inspiration for me. Her brand Saski and Skims from kim k are absolutely killing it! Seeing their success motivates me to work hard and dream big for my own brand. It may take time, but I believe that one day my brand will reach those heights too. Slowly but surely, we'll get there!

-What’s your fashion and activewear inspo?

-What’s the message of Mae?

The message of Mae is all about spreading positivity and happiness through unique and stylish designs. We want to inspire confidence and bring a smile to people's faces when they wear our t-shirts. It's all about embracing your individuality and expressing yourself in a fun and cute way wherever you go be it at the gym or anywhere.

The brand promises to empower women one stylish piece at a time as it gets ready to release its debut collection. Maeurn's narrative demonstrates that dreams can come true, even for someone who started from nothing.
