She has always moved between her two countries of origin. She completed the majority of her studies in Dakar, Senegal, and holds a Bachelor's degree in Management, which she pursued for several years after her BTS (Advanced Vocational Diploma) in Executive Secretarial Studies. Years later, for Marimika\u00ae, she undertook a comprehensive training program in fashion design in Paris.\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n <p>\r\n Married and mother of two. She leads a very active and sporty life (windsurfing, athletics, dance, skateboarding, motorcycling, capoeira, etc.), in addition to her work. She writes: one book already completed, the second volume almost finished, and two other books in progress.\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n <p>\r\n In 2006 she founded an association for the protection of the coastline in her neighborhood of Almadies in Dakar and in 2007 created her clothing brand which is composed of the beginning of her first name Marielle and part of her children's name: Mikalef. Marielle is inspired by a grandmother who was a physical education teacher in high school and adult education, a committed grandfather who held a chair at the Sorbonne, was a writer and painter, a mother who painted in her free time and a father who was a diplomat: art, culture, sport and cultural mixing are the elements that make up the DNA of Marimika\u00ae.\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"about-logo\">\r\n <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/marimika.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/logo.png\" alt=\"Logo Marimika\">\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <p>\r\n She simultaneously launched a streetwear line with her logo which reads M.R.K. Numerous fashion shows from 2007 onwards in the vibrant city of artists and creators of Dakar which offered her an opening and recognition through numerous exhibitions and sales.\r\n <\/p>\r\n <p>\r\n But the creative process is lengthy, from the initial design to the meticulous painting of the garment; it demands great precision. In 2016, she went to Paris to train in Haute Couture: a perfectionist, she wanted to understand how the \"best\" designers in Dakar kept repeating the same mistakes. Being a registered artisan with the Dakar Chamber of Trades didn't help with growth, managing her communication and launching each collection (both painted garments and streetwear) was a challenge. Between her family life, her volunteer work, and other commitments, Marimika\u00ae could no longer be viable in this way. Marielle would either give it all up or make a complete career change.\r\n <\/p>\r\n <p>\r\n She had been planning to create an e-commerce site for streetwear since 2018, and a preliminary study was conducted by a Los Angeles-based company in late 2019. It wasn't until March 2022 that she was finally able to take the next step, and Marimika\u00ae became a sole proprietorship with limited liability. Marielle selects only suppliers with ethical certifications. We won't go into the details of the obstacles encountered during 2022 and the years that followed in creating this site from Senegal\u2014something that seemed so simple at first, but that was without taking into account the realities of a country where, at that time, the majority of the economy was based on money laundering\u2026 You'll have to read her book, currently being written, to learn about this rollercoaster journey.\r\n <\/p>\r\n <p>\r\n Welcome to the world of Marimika\u00ae, where Marielle shares her zest for life, her drive to move forward, and the beauty of a world without borders. Having a Marimika\u00ae in your wardrobe means owning a product made with love, that inspires you to be active, and an ethical product with a ten-year guarantee.\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n<\/body>\r\n<\/html>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00c0 propos de MARIMIKA \u00c0 propos de MARIMIKA Marielle Dieng, la cr\u00e9atrice de MARIMIKA\u00ae, est n\u00e9e un 26 d\u00e9cembre \u00e0 Carthage, en Tunisie, d\u2019un p\u00e8re S\u00e9n\u00e9galais et d\u2019une m\u00e8re Fran\u00e7aise. Elle a toujours navigu\u00e9 entre ses deux pays de sang. Elle a fait la majorit\u00e9 de ses \u00e9tudes \u00e0 Dakar (S\u00e9n\u00e9gal) et est titulaire d\u2019un Bachelor en Management qu\u2019elle a pass\u00e9 plusieurs ann\u00e9es apr\u00e8s son BTS en Secr\u00e9tariat de Direction, puis, des ann\u00e9es plus tard, pour Marimika\u00ae, une formation \u00e0 peu pr\u00e8s compl\u00e8te en stylisme \u00e0 Paris. Mari\u00e9e et m\u00e8re de deux enfants. Une vie tr\u00e8s active et sportive (planche \u00e0 voile, athl\u00e9tisme, danse, skate-board, moto, capoeira, etc.), en plus de son travail. Elle \u00e9crit : d\u00e9j\u00e0 un ouvrage achev\u00e9, le second tome bient\u00f4t termin\u00e9 et deux autres livres en cours. En 2006 elle fonde une association pour la protection du Littoral dans son quartier des Almadies \u00e0 Dakar et cr\u00e9e, en 2007, sa marque de v\u00eatements qui est compos\u00e9e du d\u00e9but de son pr\u00e9nom Marielle et d\u2019une partie du nom de ses enfants : Mikalef. Marielle est inspir\u00e9e par une grand-m\u00e8re professeure d\u2019EPS en lyc\u00e9e et en formation adultes, d\u2019un grand-p\u00e8re engag\u00e9, titulaire d\u2019une chair \u00e0 la Sorbonne, \u00e9crivain et peintre, une m\u00e8re peintre \u00e0 ses heures de d\u00e9tente et un p\u00e8re diplomate : l\u2019art, la culture, le sport et le m\u00e9tissage sont les \u00e9l\u00e9ments qui composent l\u2019ADN de Marimika\u00ae. Elle lance parall\u00e8lement une ligne streetwear avec son logo qui se lit M.R.K. De nombreux d\u00e9fil\u00e9s d\u00e8s 2007 dans la ville foisonnante d\u2019artistes et de cr\u00e9ateurs de Dakar qui lui offre une ouverture et une reconnaissance \u00e0 travers de nombreuses expositions-ventes. Mais le travail de cr\u00e9ation est long du stylisme \u00e0 la peinture minutieuse sur le v\u00eatement, il demande beaucoup de rigueur. Elle part suivre une formation en Haute Couture \u00e0 Paris en 2016 : perfectionniste, elle veut comprendre comment les \u00ab meilleurs \u00bb couturiers de Dakar r\u00e9p\u00e8tent sans arr\u00eat les m\u00eames erreurs. \u00catre Artisane inscrite \u00e0 la Chambre des M\u00e9tiers de Dakar n\u2019aide pas \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9volution, g\u00e9rer sa communication, le lancement de chaque collection (en v\u00eatements peints comme en streetwear). Entre sa vie de famille, ses activit\u00e9s associatives et autres, Marimika\u00ae ne peut plus \u00eatre viable de cette mani\u00e8re, soit Marielle abandonne tout, soit elle prend un virage \u00e0 180\u00b0. Elle envisageait depuis 2018 de cr\u00e9er un site e-commerce pour le Streetwear, une pr\u00e9-\u00e9tude a \u00e9t\u00e9 faite par une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 bas\u00e9e \u00e0 Los Angeles fin 2019. Il a fallu attendre Mars 2022 pour qu\u2019elle puisse enfin passer une \u00e9tape et Marimika\u00ae devient une Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Unipersonnelle \u00e0 Responsabilit\u00e9 Limit\u00e9e. Marielle ne s\u00e9lectionne que des fournisseurs qui ont des certifications \u00e9thiques. On ne rentrera pas dans les d\u00e9tails des emb\u00fbches qui se succ\u00e8dent durant cette ann\u00e9e 2022 et celles qui ont suivies pour cr\u00e9er ce site \u00e0 partir du S\u00e9n\u00e9gal, une chose qui paraissait si simple au d\u00e9part, mais, c\u2019\u00e9tait sans compter sur les r\u00e9alit\u00e9s d\u2019un pays o\u00f9 la majorit\u00e9 de l\u2019\u00e9conomie \u00e9tait bas\u00e9e, \u00e0 cette p\u00e9riode, sur le blanchiment d\u2019argent\u2026 Il faudra lire son livre en cours d\u2019\u00e9criture pour conna\u00eetre ce p\u00e9riple en dents de scie.

She has always moved between her two countries of origin. She completed the majority of her studies in Dakar, Senegal, and holds a Bachelor's degree in Management, which she pursued for several years after her BTS (Advanced Vocational Diploma) in Executive Secretarial Studies. Years later, for Marimika\u00ae, she undertook a comprehensive training program in fashion design in Paris.\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n <p>\r\n Married and mother of two. She leads a very active and sporty life (windsurfing, athletics, dance, skateboarding, motorcycling, capoeira, etc.), in addition to her work. She writes: one book already completed, the second volume almost finished, and two other books in progress.\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n <p>\r\n In 2006 she founded an association for the protection of the coastline in her neighborhood of Almadies in Dakar and in 2007 created her clothing brand which is composed of the beginning of her first name Marielle and part of her children's name: Mikalef. Marielle is inspired by a grandmother who was a physical education teacher in high school and adult education, a committed grandfather who held a chair at the Sorbonne, was a writer and painter, a mother who painted in her free time and a father who was a diplomat: art, culture, sport and cultural mixing are the elements that make up the DNA of Marimika\u00ae.\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"about-logo\">\r\n <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/marimika.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/logo.png\" alt=\"Logo Marimika\">\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <p>\r\n She simultaneously launched a streetwear line with her logo which reads M.R.K. Numerous fashion shows from 2007 onwards in the vibrant city of artists and creators of Dakar which offered her an opening and recognition through numerous exhibitions and sales.\r\n <\/p>\r\n <p>\r\n But the creative process is lengthy, from the initial design to the meticulous painting of the garment; it demands great precision. In 2016, she went to Paris to train in Haute Couture: a perfectionist, she wanted to understand how the \"best\" designers in Dakar kept repeating the same mistakes. Being a registered artisan with the Dakar Chamber of Trades didn't help with growth, managing her communication and launching each collection (both painted garments and streetwear) was a challenge. Between her family life, her volunteer work, and other commitments, Marimika\u00ae could no longer be viable in this way. Marielle would either give it all up or make a complete career change.\r\n <\/p>\r\n <p>\r\n She had been planning to create an e-commerce site for streetwear since 2018, and a preliminary study was conducted by a Los Angeles-based company in late 2019. It wasn't until March 2022 that she was finally able to take the next step, and Marimika\u00ae became a sole proprietorship with limited liability. Marielle selects only suppliers with ethical certifications. We won't go into the details of the obstacles encountered during 2022 and the years that followed in creating this site from Senegal\u2014something that seemed so simple at first, but that was without taking into account the realities of a country where, at that time, the majority of the economy was based on money laundering\u2026 You'll have to read her book, currently being written, to learn about this rollercoaster journey.\r\n <\/p>\r\n <p>\r\n Welcome to the world of Marimika\u00ae, where Marielle shares her zest for life, her drive to move forward, and the beauty of a world without borders. Having a Marimika\u00ae in your wardrobe means owning a product made with love, that inspires you to be active, and an ethical product with a ten-year guarantee.\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n<\/body>\r\n<\/html>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00c0 propos de MARIMIKA \u00c0 propos de MARIMIKA Marielle Dieng, la cr\u00e9atrice de MARIMIKA\u00ae, est n\u00e9e un 26 d\u00e9cembre \u00e0 Carthage, en Tunisie, d\u2019un p\u00e8re S\u00e9n\u00e9galais et d\u2019une m\u00e8re Fran\u00e7aise. Elle a toujours navigu\u00e9 entre ses deux pays de sang. Elle a fait la majorit\u00e9 de ses \u00e9tudes \u00e0 Dakar (S\u00e9n\u00e9gal) et est titulaire d\u2019un Bachelor en Management qu\u2019elle a pass\u00e9 plusieurs ann\u00e9es apr\u00e8s son BTS en Secr\u00e9tariat de Direction, puis, des ann\u00e9es plus tard, pour Marimika\u00ae, une formation \u00e0 peu pr\u00e8s compl\u00e8te en stylisme \u00e0 Paris. Mari\u00e9e et m\u00e8re de deux enfants. Une vie tr\u00e8s active et sportive (planche \u00e0 voile, athl\u00e9tisme, danse, skate-board, moto, capoeira, etc.), en plus de son travail. Elle \u00e9crit : d\u00e9j\u00e0 un ouvrage achev\u00e9, le second tome bient\u00f4t termin\u00e9 et deux autres livres en cours. En 2006 elle fonde une association pour la protection du Littoral dans son quartier des Almadies \u00e0 Dakar et cr\u00e9e, en 2007, sa marque de v\u00eatements qui est compos\u00e9e du d\u00e9but de son pr\u00e9nom Marielle et d\u2019une partie du nom de ses enfants : Mikalef. Marielle est inspir\u00e9e par une grand-m\u00e8re professeure d\u2019EPS en lyc\u00e9e et en formation adultes, d\u2019un grand-p\u00e8re engag\u00e9, titulaire d\u2019une chair \u00e0 la Sorbonne, \u00e9crivain et peintre, une m\u00e8re peintre \u00e0 ses heures de d\u00e9tente et un p\u00e8re diplomate : l\u2019art, la culture, le sport et le m\u00e9tissage sont les \u00e9l\u00e9ments qui composent l\u2019ADN de Marimika\u00ae. Elle lance parall\u00e8lement une ligne streetwear avec son logo qui se lit M.R.K. De nombreux d\u00e9fil\u00e9s d\u00e8s 2007 dans la ville foisonnante d\u2019artistes et de cr\u00e9ateurs de Dakar qui lui offre une ouverture et une reconnaissance \u00e0 travers de nombreuses expositions-ventes. Mais le travail de cr\u00e9ation est long du stylisme \u00e0 la peinture minutieuse sur le v\u00eatement, il demande beaucoup de rigueur. Elle part suivre une formation en Haute Couture \u00e0 Paris en 2016 : perfectionniste, elle veut comprendre comment les \u00ab meilleurs \u00bb couturiers de Dakar r\u00e9p\u00e8tent sans arr\u00eat les m\u00eames erreurs. \u00catre Artisane inscrite \u00e0 la Chambre des M\u00e9tiers de Dakar n\u2019aide pas \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9volution, g\u00e9rer sa communication, le lancement de chaque collection (en v\u00eatements peints comme en streetwear). Entre sa vie de famille, ses activit\u00e9s associatives et autres, Marimika\u00ae ne peut plus \u00eatre viable de cette mani\u00e8re, soit Marielle abandonne tout, soit elle prend un virage \u00e0 180\u00b0. Elle envisageait depuis 2018 de cr\u00e9er un site e-commerce pour le Streetwear, une pr\u00e9-\u00e9tude a \u00e9t\u00e9 faite par une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 bas\u00e9e \u00e0 Los Angeles fin 2019. Il a fallu attendre Mars 2022 pour qu\u2019elle puisse enfin passer une \u00e9tape et Marimika\u00ae devient une Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Unipersonnelle \u00e0 Responsabilit\u00e9 Limit\u00e9e. Marielle ne s\u00e9lectionne que des fournisseurs qui ont des certifications \u00e9thiques. On ne rentrera pas dans les d\u00e9tails des emb\u00fbches qui se succ\u00e8dent durant cette ann\u00e9e 2022 et celles qui ont suivies pour cr\u00e9er ce site \u00e0 partir du S\u00e9n\u00e9gal, une chose qui paraissait si simple au d\u00e9part, mais, c\u2019\u00e9tait sans compter sur les r\u00e9alit\u00e9s d\u2019un pays o\u00f9 la majorit\u00e9 de l\u2019\u00e9conomie \u00e9tait bas\u00e9e, \u00e0 cette p\u00e9riode, sur le blanchiment d\u2019argent\u2026 Il faudra lire son livre en cours d\u2019\u00e9criture pour conna\u00eetre ce p\u00e9riple en dents de scie.
