Marella dresses and coats bring Italian polish to Olivia Grace, part of the Max Mara group and designed with the same eye for cut and colour. The line moves between elegant daywear and proper occasion pieces, in fabrics that hold their shape. We hand-pick the range each season for the shop in Wetherby.
We've stocked Marella for years because it does the thing a lot of Italian fashion promises and rarely delivers: genuinely wearable glamour. Nothing feels costume-y, even the pieces with real presence.
Dresses are the heart of the collection, worn with real structure through the shoulder and waist. Coats and jackets follow the same tailored logic, and there's a strong run of knitwear and separates for building an outfit around one statement piece.
Marella sits within the Max Mara group, one of Italy's most established fashion houses, and it shows in the fit. Where Max Mara itself leans formal, Marella is the younger, more colourful line: same construction standards, more fun with print and cut.
If you want an Italian dress that photographs well and still lets you sit down comfortably, this is where to look.
