About MR MARVIS
MR MARVIS is a fast-growing Amsterdam-based online menswear brand that is fully dedicated to delivering the perfect shorts & trousers. After a successful launch in 2016 it has become the #1 shorts brand in the Netherlands! Expanding quickly, with 15 physical stores across some vibrant cities as Amsterdam, Antwerp, Munich and Brussels and online presence in Germany, France, Spain, UK, Italy, Austria, Denmark and Switzerland.
Our mission is to share positive energy around the world and make people feel marvellous. We do so by creating iconic designs, offering best-in class service and driving conscious decisions for people and the planet.
As a clothing brand, we want to take responsibility for the impact we have on the world. We aim for timeless design, conscious choices for more sustainable materials and local European production (handmade in Portugal) - in short we are an advocate of “slow fashion”. That is why we are working every day to reduce our emissions and create value for everyone who comes into contact with MR MARVIS.

We are proud that in 2023, we got B Corp certified. This certification is only given to companies that can demonstrate that they make a significant contribution to a better world.
Being a force for good goes beyond producing- and selling sustainably, in the end it’s about people. In line with our mission, we participate in several charity and voluntary activities that in most cases focus on the people who sometimes feel a little less marvellous. Examples include: our employees visit elderly homes and dance with elderly who too often feel lonely, our employees help renovate homes for homeless people, and every year we participate in (and donate to) a charity campaign against child cancer (KiKa).
It is also reflected in various HR choices we’ve made so far: good pension plans and disability insurances, learning & development budgets, trainings & inspirational talks, daily healthy catered lunch (on the house), matching employees donations, monthly well-being budget, free access to coaches & psychologists, and much more.
