Marlowe and James inside their shop folding linen shirts and choosing summer dresses

Our story

A beautiful piece is the one you reach for again and again.

I've always loved clothes that let a woman feel beautiful without feeling like she's in costume. With James by my side, we built Marlowe & James: feminine, comfortable pieces that are easy to wear again and again.

“A beautiful piece isn't the one you admire in your wardrobe. It's the one you reach for again and again.”

With love, Marlowe

Our promise

Our promise has always been simple.

Before any piece makes it into the shop, it has to pass three questions:

Is it comfortable?
Does it flatter you?
Would you wear it again and again?

If it isn't three yeses, it doesn't make the cut.

What Our Customers Say About Us

  • Customer wearing navy long shirt dress

    Karen Mitchell Verified Review

    Really pleased with this dress. The navy is lovely, it's light and flowy, and so easy to wear on a warm Sydney day. Popped a belt on with it and had compliments straight away.

  • Customer wearing blue comfort moccasins

    Donna Russo Verified Review

    So comfortable. Wore these for a long lunch by the beach and my feet felt great. Light, easy to slip on, and they look lovely with white linen pants.

  • Customer wearing lightweight comfort sneakers

    Linda Nguyen Verified Review

    Such an easy pair of sneakers. Light and comfortable straight out of the box. Wore them for a walk along the coast and then lunch in town and felt really good in them.

  • Customer wearing wrap-front wide-leg jumpsuit

    Priya Sharma Verified Review

    Absolutely love this jumpsuit. So comfy and easy to wear, and the wide leg is really flattering. Cool enough for a humid day on the Gold Coast too, and I've had loads of compliments.

  • Customer wearing blue print short-sleeve shirt

    Fiona Campbell Verified Review

    Lovely relaxed shirt, very light and comfortable. The print is gorgeous, it looks great with white linen pants, and it's so easy to style for a day at the beach or dinner after.

  • Customer wearing one-shoulder wide-leg jumpsuit

    Maria Kostas Verified Review

    Wore this jumpsuit to a winery wedding and felt wonderful. Really elegant and the fabric drapes beautifully. Several guests asked where it was from.

  • Customer wearing crab print mini dress

    Leilani Faleolo Verified Review

    Perfect for our hot summers. The crab print is so fun and cheerful, it's light and cool, and I wore it all day on our beach holiday.

  • Customer wearing khaki long shirt dress

    Jodie Walker Verified Review

    Really pleased with this dress. Comfy straight away, light on and it goes with practically everything. Great for walking around the city all day.
