What is Catwalk Junkie?

Products and positioning
The brand is known for bold prints and colour, which it calls Dopamine Dressing, under the motto Carefree meets Funky. Its denim line for Dutch women includes longer jeans with unfinished hems, and a QR code on the care label shows customers how to cut them to length. A 2026 collaboration with Marie Marie adds hand-crocheted bags and bag charms.
Organisation and production
Marieke leads creative work and collections, and her partner Tommie joined to lead the commercial side. The company has a team of ten in Amsterdam-Noord with a nearby atelier that works as a mini factory for quick production changes. About half the collection uses digital textile printing, which the brand says saves 90 per cent of water compared with screen printing.
Distribution
The profile mentions sales through retailers and a planned Dutch tour in which the brand visits stores to print custom T-shirts on site.
