How the Brooklyn-based designer of Offbeat Sweet mixes contemporary design with pure fantasy.
About Marissa
Marissa founded her own label Offbeat Sweet—a playful brand with hints of “humor, absurdity and fairytale”—in 2020. (The name came from a friend describing Marissa as very sweet, but a little offbeat.) Inspired by architecture and unconventional structure, Marissa creates bags and accessories that aim to start conversations (and boost moods). In her downtime, you’re likely to catch her re-watching Six Feet Under, reading The House Guest, and listening to Jannette Anne Dimech.
“I love looking at something abstract (e.g., chains, gates, flowers, etc.) and thinking, ‘how can I make that into something wearable?”
Coachtopia x Offbeat Sweet
Marissa has collaborated with us on a selection of Coachtopia Loop bags: all playful, puffy and made with at least 98% recycled PET plastic. Marissa’s favorite Coachtopia piece (besides her own designs) is the Re-Laceable Tote, given its versality.
