Our Story

For Marc Nolan founder Sebastian Malczewski, style wasn’t just a hobby—it was practically a family heirloom. Growing up in Poland, his mother and grandmother taught him that details matter. A sharp pair of shoes? Essential. A sleek accessory? Non-negotiable. Coordinating colors? A life skill. They didn’t just teach him how to dress—they taught him how to stand out.

When Sebastian moved to America, he brought his love of fashion with him. Like many immigrants, he hustled through odd jobs, but a life-changing trip to New York City set his path. His friend and mentor Marc helped him land a job at a shoe store, where Sebastian noticed a gap: stylish, high-quality shoes were either ridiculously overpriced or uninspired.

In 2018, Sebastian decided to change that. Drawing on his retail experience and passion for design, he launched Marc Nolan—a tribute to the two men who shaped his journey: his mentor, Marc, and his son, Nolan.
