Garment Journey

The Marcell Dress combines the mastery of our Italian factories, both woven and knit. The woven skirt has a wide pleat and hand stitched details. The upper body is knit with a very structural rib and triangular openings at the side. The off the shoulder silhouette and cutouts make this a perfect dress for the evening.

  • 100% Virgin Wool (Australia)
  • Dying/Weaving/Finishing Italy

Fabric

Wool is a renewable fiber; one sheep can produce 4-5 pounds of wool per year. Wool provides warmth by trapping heat, while simultaneously transporting moisture away from the body so skin stays dry and comfortable. It is naturally antimicrobial, so it resists odors and rarely needs washing. Its exceptional durability allows for long garment lifespan, and it can biodegrade when disposed into right soil conditions.

Mill

This mill sources wool responsibly from family-owned farms in Australia. Additionally, they treat their wastewater through a biological treatment plant so they can reuse it in processing or safely return the water to the local river. They practice the following standards for human and environmental health:

  • Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH)
  • AZO-free Dyes
  • Factory

    This Italian factory was founded in 2003 by three women, two of whom are sisters with impressive family lineage in fashion and garment craftsmanship. Their grandmother was a gifted talent scout who discovered Martin Margiela, among others, and their father dedicated a lifetime to the art of traditional tailoring.
