About the Item
Immerse yourself in the understated sophistication that has made MaxMara Studio an international benchmark for refined Italian tailoring. This immaculate, hand-finished pencil skirt is cut from 100 percent virgin wool woven in a compact double-face twill normally reserved for the house's legendary cashmere-blend coats. The result is a fabric that feels plush yet lightweight, holds its line through hours of wear, and offers just enough natural stretch to move with the body. A cool, luminous ocean-blue tone-achieved through yarn-dyed fibers rather than surface printing-adds depth and resists fading season after season.
Inside, the skirt is fully faced in a sky-blue acetate lining that glides over hosiery and protects the outer cloth. Every seam is taped, every dart is pressed by hand, and the hem is secured with an invisible blind stitch, hallmarks of the "Cucito a Mano" (hand-sewn) capsule available only in select flagship boutiques for a single season. A discreet side zipper keeps the waistline perfectly clean, while the mid-knee length (66 cm / 26 in) delivers a universally flattering proportion that pairs as effortlessly with a silk blouse and pumps as it does with an oversized cashmere sweater and boots.
Why does it merit an investment price? Beyond the luxurious raw materials and artisanal construction, this skirt embodies the house's philosophy of "buy once, wear forever." Virgin wool fibers are naturally odor-resistant, temperature-regulating, and far more durable than synthetic blends; with proper care, the piece will retain its drape and color for decades. The clean, pocket-less silhouette refuses to date, making it a versatile centerpiece for capsule wardrobes and a savvy alternative to fast-fashion staples that lose shape after a single season.
Provenance also matters: produced in small numbers in MaxMara's Emilia-Romagna workrooms, this model was never distributed to outlet channels and is now virtually impossible to source-especially in such excellent condition. The only sign of previous use is one faint, pencil-tip mark near the lower front (see detailed photo); there are no pulls, snags, or lining tears.

View AllEmporio Armani Midnight-Blue Wool-Blend Knife-Pleat Midi Skirt
By EMPORIO ARMANI EA7
Located in Milano, IT
What makes this product unique or special?
Emporio Armani transforms the classic pleated skirt into a modern minimalist piece. Four razor-sharp knife pleats are hidden behind smooth panels, so the skirt appears perfectly sleek when you stand still, then bursts open in motion to reveal fluid movement. The effect delivers the swing of a fully pleated skirt without adding bulk at the waist-an early-2000s Armani innovation now hard to find.
Why is it worth the proposed price?
Cut from a dense Italian wool blend dyed in midnight blue, fully lined in silky viscose and finished with a 6 cm satin-faced waistband, invisible side zipper and interior button. Comparable contemporary skirts sell well above $400; authentic vintage Emporio Armani...
