About Us

Hello Baby!

I'm Marelyne, the one-woman show behind Koketa. After a decade in retail management, I ditched the corporate grind to pursue my passion. Born and raised in South LA, I've always been rough around the edges, assimilated when needed, but hated it. Now, I don’t turn myself on or off for anybody, and that's what Koketa is all about.

Koketa isn’t just a fashion brand—it’s a lifestyle. We're here to challenge the status quo and be unapologetically ourselves.

I design and curate unique products that are thought-provoking and authentic. Every collection tells a story from my personal experiences. When you wear Koketa, you're embracing who you are. Some designs are fun and stir the pot, while others are thoughtful and make you think deeper. Women aren't just one thing—we’re a mix of many, sometimes contradictory, things.

Koketa empowers you to live by your own rules and builds a community where we support each other. I dream of creating spaces beyond the internet where we can gather, meet, and have important discussions about anything our hearts desire and empower one another through and through.

For now, let's connect through these designs and shake things up together.

Welcome to the Koketa family!
