What Miss Mary does

Miss Mary of Sweden AB is a privately held, Sweden-based e-commerce intimate apparel company founded in 1957 and headquartered in Borås. The company designs, manufactures, and sells bras, panties, and shapewear directly to consumers through two owned online storefronts — missmary.se for the Swedish and EU markets and missmary.com for international customers — with additional phone ordering for Swedish buyers. Products are largely produced at the company's own factory in Estonia, supplemented by a long-term partner factory, and shipped domestically via PostNord and internationally from a dedicated US-market warehouse in Bremen, Germany.

The product portfolio spans underwired and non-wired bras (including T-shirt, cotton, lace, padded, and sports styles such as Exhale), a wide assortment of panties (cotton, recycled, cooling, high-waisted, maxi, boxer, Brazilian, thong, and long-leg), and shapewear (bodies, girdles, boleros, and shaping tights). Differentiation is built on proprietary fabric technologies — Keep Fresh moisture-wicking, Cool Sensation/WinCool cooling, and Recycled Comfort sustainable fibers — supported by comfort-engineered construction features such as extra-wide backs, side wings, and the trademarked Ergo Front™ band. The company anchors its quality claim with a unique 100 Washings Warranty and a 100-day return policy.

Miss Mary operates a direct-to-consumer business model selling at fixed unit prices ($18.99–$77.99 in the US market, with SEK pricing in Sweden) with promotional mechanics such as a "buy 4 get 3 free" panties offer. Marketing is executed through content/SEO, email via Klaviyo, paid social on Meta, Google Ads remarketing, and the Rakuten affiliate network, with payment processing anchored by Klarna alongside Swish, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. The company is independently owned with no disclosed external investors and serves customers across Sweden, the EU, USA, Australia, and New Zealand.
