Inside the Florence workshop
Where every Marlene coat is cut, basted and finished by hand over twenty-three days.
The Autumn/Winter collection — a study in tailoring, weight and restraint. Forty-two pieces, made in small runs across Florence and Porto.
A new vocabulary for modern womenswear — disciplined, quietly luxurious, refreshingly unfussy.
Tailoring is cut and finished in a converted convent in Oltrarno, Florence. Knitwear is shaped by a family-run mill outside Porto that has been spinning yarn for four generations.
Each collection is produced in runs of fewer than three hundred pieces — quiet, deliberate, and intended to be lived in for years.
