Worn in Strength: Breast Cancer Awareness Pop-Up
Worn in Strength: A Breast Cancer Awareness Pop-Up with Marka Designs
Wednesday, October 28 · 11 AM to 4 PM · MWM Boutique & Cafe, 4525 Queen St., Niagara Falls
In honour of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Marka Designs is showcasing a custom line created specifically for this occasion. Each piece carries Marka’s signature sculptural style, crafted from natural materials like wood, quartz, freshwater pearls and copper, and designed as a wearable statement of strength and resilience.
Come meet the designer, see the collection up close, and stop by the café for a special smoothie made just for the day. Marka will be joined by fellow local vendors showing their support, so watch our social channels for who’s coming.
Supporting Wellspring Niagara
A portion of the day’s proceeds will be donated to Wellspring Niagara, which offers free programs for people living with cancer, from connection and belonging to building strength and navigating financial and workplace challenges, with no referral needed.
Can’t make it in person? You can still give through our team donation page: give.wellspring.ca/fundraisers/markamwm
Everyone is welcome.

Marka is an OCAD University–trained industrial designer whose work spans murals, textiles, woodworking, accessible design and, her favourite, sculptural wearable art. She mixes wood, quartz, freshwater pearls and copper into bold, architectural pieces that explore scale, balance and tension, where precision meets instinct and form follows feeling.
