Fashion
Together with her friend and colleague Gigi Ravelli she made her own jewelry line. It is very successful in the Netherlands and is called 'Kuise Meisjes' (literally translated: maidens). Especially their ear jewelry is famous. They have one big ring with a huge flower in one ear, and in the other ear nothing or just a ring without the flower. One way to buy their jewelry is by visiting their own page, but you can also buy it in the store 'Six' from Europe to the USA.
One of Marly's biggest dreams was to start a clothing line, which she started with Gigi Ravelli. The name of this clothing line is Label 13 by Gigi and Marly. You can only buy their clothes on their website. They also sell bags made by poor, unemployed mothers in India. Marly and Gigi will sell them and all the profits from those bags go to the Tiny Miracle Foundation for support.[3]
