 MARA-Mi has a compelling story to tell. And this belief in story telling is at the core of our brand. MARA-MI began as a two-person (Marilyn + Mimi) start-up, with a line of social stationery marketed to independent boutiques and specialty chain stores. The mission is to enhance social connections through lovely, colorful, innovative designs and formats. An acquisition by Gartner Studios, Inc in 2006 allowed MARA-MI to write a new chapter; reaching new customers and expanding their brand into adjacent categories. For Greg Gartner, president and chairman of Gartner Studios, "the acquisition of MARA-MI© enables us to add to our portfolio of brands with a company that is an established brand of trend inspired paper & gift products. MARA-MI stays fresh and vital through an early commitment to trend research. MARA-MI designers travel the world seeking out the newest palettes, patterns and directions in design. This ensures innovative work, like no other social stationery company today." The Mara-Mi store+studio+café opened the latter part of July 2010 in historic downtown Stillwater, MN. (about a 1/2 drive from St.Paul/Minneapolis) Here, you will find the largest assortment of MARA-Mi favorites, current and past. Mixed in this assortment are our favorite picks. Look for our edits in candles, gifts, party and books. The Café offers the finest in baked goods including cupcakes, cake pops and fully decorated occasion cakes. Everyone has a story, and connecting our stories through communication is the fabric of MARA- MI.Communicating with each other with note cards, invitations + announcements is not only good form, but is also just plain nice. The rise of social media has created more ways than ever to communicate, but it is still important to combine style + grace in each and every communication. |
