"I also love love love the videos. They show a bit of everything, and I can see the movement of the garment, and a closeup of the fabric and the flow.
Love the idea of rather doing it slower, but also ensuring we actually show the essence. I much prefer the ethics, values and the principle of your brand to show and to shine through, than it just being another generic picture. I loved your images from your shoot with Chris. He is very good at showing that in his images. 👏🏼 But he understands your vision. And that makes all the difference. There is a bond and a relationship between us all and the garments.
We are all intertwined. I only packed your garments to my shoot this week. It was heaven. Compliments allllll day, everywhere. People are noticing when we wear that, and they see we are choosing to be conscious. I love that so much!"

"It’s pure. It’s simple. It’s honest. A thoroughbred classic. Soon as lockdown is over I will buy a sword, a cigar, a bottle of rum, roll up my sleeves and go looking for damsels in distress. This shirt could get me into a lot of unnecessary trouble!"

"Liebe Marutsca und Team,
Uns ist es ein großes Bedürfnis, Euch „ Danke“ zu sagen. Meine Suche nach genau solcher Mode aus Leinen , wie Ihr sie produziert, hat endlich ein Ende.
In Deutschland ist Kleidung aus 100% Leinen sehr rar oder eben als Leinen angepriesen, wobei sich dahinter dann Stoffgemische verbergen, das man beim tragen das Gefühl hat in einer Plastiktüte zu stecken. Trotz das Eure Fashion in Kapstadt hergestellt wird, habe ich nicht gezögert und habe für mich und meinen Mann mehrere Kleidungsstücke bei Euch bestellt. Viel schneller als erwartet, kam das Paket bei uns in Deutschland an.
Das auspacken bereitete uns viel Freude, weil jedes einzelne Kleidungsstück in Seidenpapier eingeschlagen war und liebevoll mit einem Marutsca- Schleifchen versehen war. Die Kleidungsstücke passen alle super, genau weil sie alle leger und lässig geschnitten sind, keine kneifende Naht oder drückender Hosenbund. Bei dem Kleid habt Ihr mir sogar gratis den Bindegürtel mit dazu gelegt, vielen lieben Dank. Wir verreisen sehr viel und brauchen - Dank Euch - nur noch einen kleinen Koffer, da Eure Mode sehr vielseitig und verwandelbar ist. Tags beim spazieren am Strand oder beim shoppen oder Abends im Restaurant - alle Kleidungsstücke sind Alleskönner.
Da sie zu unseren Lieblingsstücken geworden sind, tragen wir sie auch oft - und das heißt auch oft waschen. Auch das ist für Eure robuste Leinen Qualität kein Problem, alles wie neu und keine verdrehte Naht, wie man es oft bei billigen T-Shirts beobachten kann. Wir sind der Meinung das jede Qualität seinen Preis hat - und dafür gebe ich lieber mal einen Euro mehr aus und habe sehr sehr lange viel Freude damit. Der Spruch „wer billig kauft, kauft doppelt“ ist wahr! Euer Konzept mit natürlicher, nachhaltiger Kleidung hat Zukunft - davon sind wir fest überzeugt. Macht Bitte weiter so. Danke das es Euch gibt und wir freuen uns schon auf Eure nächste Kollektion!"

"Dear Team at MARUTSCA.COM,
We feel that we would like to thank you. My long search for simple designs in good linen fabric has finally come to an end. In Germany it is rare to find well cut clothing in pure linen, often it is marked as 100% linen, but when we you wear it, it feels like a plastic bag and it’s very expensive here in Germany.
Although I realised you’re prodcusing in South Africa, I still had the confidence to order from your company and to my surprise, the goods arrived shortly after my order! Unpacking was a pleasure and the garments were beautifully wrapped. Nothing lost, nothing damaged. Trying on we were very happy, evrything fits (must be the loose cut) and I have ordered for my husband and myself a few pieces.
We travel a lot and your products made it possible to tarvel light because the styling is easy and possibilities abundant. Since we wear it a lot, it has become our favourites, we wash it often, but even that is no problem for the quality linen you use. No twisted and turned seams like one sometimes find in clothing.
We are aware that linenclothing are more expensive, and spending a few Euros more and wearing our clothing longer is actually great. It reminds me of the saying: Those who buy cheap, buy twice. Your concept in clothing has a future, please continue. We’re saying THANK YOU and we’re looking forward to your next collection!"
– Silke and Rocco Gerlach, Chemnitz, Germany, 31 October 2019
"It’s so easy to be deceived by pretty pictures when it comes to online shopping. But, this shop truly lives up to their promised quality. I purchased a dress that I practically live in at this point in the summer. It can be dressed up and/or down. It’s comfortable, light, breezy."
– Aby Rose, 21, Zurich, Switzerland, August 2019
