The Name

This name is a reference to MLK’s historic 1965 speech, “OurGod is Marching On.” Let us march on poverty, let us march on ballot boxes…” In addition to the obvious historic tie to King, who is buried inOakland Cemetery, the name also alludes to the social responsibility that’s anattribute of this brand. 

Pronounced with a soft ch (mar-shon), like theFrench verb
"to walk," Marchon has an easy sophistication—elevated but familiar.
