At MAKSU, fabric selection is fundamental to how a garment looks, feels and wears over time. We work with premium Italian fabrics sourced from specialist mills known for their technical expertise and refined approach to textile design.
Italian fabric houses have spent decades perfecting the balance between innovation and tradition. Their textiles are valued for their depth of colour, elegant drape and enduring quality, allowing garments to move beautifully while retaining structure and integrity.
By choosing high quality Italian fabrics, each MAKSU piece is designed to offer lasting wear, a refined finish and the elevated feel expected from luxury womenswear made to be worn and treasured over time.
Fabric in Focus
Why Italian Fabric
Italian fabrics are recognised for their exceptional standards and long-standing expertise. Produced by specialist mills with generations of experience, these textiles combine advanced technical processes with a deep understanding of fibre, texture and performance.
The result is fabric that looks refined and wears beautifully.
Refined Drape and Lasting Wear
The way a garment moves is shaped by the quality of its fabric. Italian textiles are selected for their natural drape, enhancing silhouette, comfort and ease of movement on the body.
Equally important is longevity. Thoughtfully woven and finished fabrics help garments retain their structure and surface, allowing MAKSU pieces to be worn regularly without losing their quality or appeal.
Considered Fabric Selection
Each Italian fabric used in the MAKSU collection is chosen with intention. Texture, weight, finish and handle are carefully assessed to ensure they align with the design and purpose of the garment.
This considered approach allows fabric and form to work together, creating womenswear that feels elevated, wearable and enduring over time.
