Molly-Mae’s clothing line Maebe is here – but it’s being dragged for these extortionate prices
£140 for a polyester blazer?!
After months of speculation and weeks of build up, Molly-Mae Hague’s new clothing line Maebe finally dropped at 7pm on 29 September. Everything sold out in 24 minutes, apart from the plain white t-shirt, which sold out 14 minutes later. Now that the clothes are being delivered, people are dragging their quality and sizing. £140 for a polyester blazer? Maebe it’s not for me.
When the clothing line first came out, it was dragged on social media for being weirdly vague about the materials. The £65 Cosy Cropped Cardigan was described as being made from “a dense compact knit with a touch of wool for a cosy (not scratchy), elevated feel” and the £50 Contour Popper Top was apparently made from “buttery soft, heavyweight stretch knitted jersey”. The fabric compositions have now been added to the website – once everything is sold out.
Still, some people are so desperate to get their hands on Maebe clothes that the items are already being listed on Depop and Vinted for upwards of £250.
The clothes are weirdly expensive for the materials they’re made of. The very humbly named jacket The Ultimate Blazer will set you back £140. It’s 63 per cent polyester, 19 per cent viscose and 18 per cent acrylic. It’s not even made from recycled polyester, like some blazers around the same price point are.
I’m not convinced that the materials of the £65 Cosy Cropped Cardigan would keep you warm in winter. It’s made from “mixed composition fabric with a touch of wool”, which it turns out is 41 per cent acrylic, 30 per cent polyester, 24 per cent polyamide and 5 per cent wool. Call me a hater, but I don’t know how cosy a cardigan is if it barely extends part your boobs.
I do actually think that these are cute jeans. But £90 feels way too steep for something that’s 10 per cent polyester. You can buy nearly identical 100 per cent cotton grey jeans for £24.99 from H&M.
The website also has this off-putting warning: “Please be careful when washing your denim with other items as the colour may run.”
The Contour Popper Top is a spenny £50, but is made from 86 per cent polyester and 14 per cent spandex.
In Molly-Mae’s defence, the unbelievably bland plain white tee-shirt is made of 100 per cent cotton. But at £35, it’s still way more expensive than similar items from other brands. You can get a near identical 100 per cent cotton top in Zara for £8.99, or from Asos for £6.00, or a pack of two from H&M for £9.99.
You also have to pay £2.50 to return any items that don’t fit. The prices seems especially steep when you consider that most of Molly-Mae’s fans are under the age of 25, therefore broke.
People on social media were deeply unimpressed with Molly-Mae Hague’s new clothing line Maebe.
One X user wrote: “So Maebe (Molly-Mae) has added their materials (after everything has sold out) and the £140 blazer is, you guessed it… plastic. You’re better off shopping for an actual vintage men’s oversized blazer:.
Another wrote: “Unpopular opinion… the Molly-Mae clothing brand is ugly, looks like grandad jeans and not worth £44.”
Someone wrote on X “Sorry but Molly-Mae selling a BLAZER for £140 and a WHITE SHIRT for £65 on Maebe is criminal.”
I know we all have the same 24 hours in a day, but I will not be using mine to buy Molly-Mae Hague’s clothing line. Maybe Maebe’s just not for me…
