What is Max Mara Studio?

Max Mara Studio is a line within the Max Mara house, the Italian company founded by Achille Maramotti in 1951 and still owned by his family. maxmara.com lists it in its own navigation. When it launched and who designs it are not published by the house, so this guide describes the line from what it sells: 253 pieces on Coveti in November 2026.

The count makes the character of the line clear. Trousers and jackets together make up 93 pieces, more than a third of the total. Blazers alone number 35. Coats add 36 more, and the dresses include seven evening gowns, which ‘S Max Mara does not offer at all. Studio is the Max Mara line for the working wardrobe and for evening, built around a jacket and a trouser in matching cloth.

It is also priced below the main line. The middle Studio piece costs $950, against $1,320 for Max Mara, and Studio blazers start at $1,150, where main-line blazers start at $1,500. For the jackets in every line, see our Max Mara jackets and blazers guide.

Max Mara Studio blazers and trousers

The tailoring is cut in four main cloths, and each blazer has a trouser in the same composition, so a suit can be built from separate pieces.

Cady. Cady is a dense, smooth crepe cloth that holds a crease and resists creasing in a suitcase. In Studio it is 71% triacetate and 29% polyester. The Linz Single-Breasted Cady Blazer comes in black, navy and natural at $1,220, and the matching Jerta straight trousers cost $550. The Bimba carrot trousers and Amico wide-leg trousers use the same cloth.

Wool flannel. The Uditore double-breasted blazer and the Quagga belted blazer are 99% virgin wool and 1% elastane, the same blend as the Lago trousers, which the house describes as mannish wool flannel trousers, at $750.

Wool broadcloth. The Volpino and Hobby blazers are 100% virgin wool broadcloth, at $1,340 and $1,440, with the Serio high-waisted trousers in pure woollen cloth at $800.

Envers satin. Envers satin is satin finished so that the matte reverse becomes the face. Studio cuts it in 71% acetate and 29% viscose for the Arca double-breasted blazer, the Miss wrap dress and an Orario tuxedo jumpsuit.

Of the 48 trousers, 25 are wide-leg and 20 are tailored. Explore the wider edits of wide-leg trousers and tailored trousers, and our Max Mara trousers and suits guide for fit.

Max Mara Studio coats

Studio has 36 coats on Coveti, from $1,190 to $6,430. Eighteen list a 100% virgin wool outer fabric and 13 include cashmere. The shapes repeat:

  • Robe coats, 8: from the Dravenna wool broadcloth robe coat at $1,940 to the hooded Elegia in 100% cashmere at $4,870. See robe coats for women.
  • Wrap coats: twelve titles mention a wrap, among them the Loriana wool wrap coat at $1,930 and the Cles in 88% virgin wool, 6% silk and 6% cashmere at $1,880. See wrap coats for women.
  • Cocoon coats, 3: the Nembo cocoon-fit coat in pure virgin wool, in black and green at $2,100, and the Foglia sheepskin cocoon coat at $6,430. Our guide to cocoon coats explains the shape.
  • Tuxedo and pea coats: the Effige double-breasted tuxedo coat at $2,210, and two pea coats from $1,520.

Studio coats are lined in viscose where main-line coats often use silk. For the full spread of coats across the house, read the Max Mara coat guide and our edit of women’s wool coats.

Knitwear, shirts and evening

Knitwear. The 36 knits lean on an 80% wool and 20% cashmere blend: the Educata turtleneck at $700, the Cosmo cable sweater at $950, the Orli cable cardigan at $930 and the embroidered Nigella sweater at $1,220. Compare them in our Max Mara knitwear guide.

Shirts. The Xero shirt is what the house calls a mannish silk satin shirt, in 94% silk and 6% elastane, at $750 in silk white, pearl grey, camel and tobacco. The Fiordi blouse uses the same silk satin at $720.

Evening. Seven pieces sit in evening gowns, among them the Fumi envers satin bustier gown at $1,660 and the Baffo embroidered tulle bustier gown at $2,100. Eight titles mention sequins. See our guide to Max Mara dresses and gowns.

Matrix compiled by Coveti Editorial from the live Max Mara catalogue on coveti.com, November 2026.

Studio is the line to choose for a suit, an office blazer and an evening dress at a price below the main line. ‘S Max Mara is the line for wool coats, knits and casual tailoring. The main line holds the camel hair and most of the cashmere.

How does Max Mara Studio fit?

Studio uses the same Italian sizes as the rest of the house: IT 40 is UK 8 and US 4, IT 42 is UK 10 and US 6, and IT 44 is UK 12 and US 8. Boxy jackets and cocoon coats are cut wide on purpose, so many shoppers keep their usual size in those. Check the size chart on each product page, and see the Max Mara size chart.

Max Mara Studio around the world

Searches for “max mara studio” add up to about 1,050 a month across the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Ireland, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Singapore, and “max mara blazer” adds about 890.

United States and Canada. The wool flannel suit, a Lago trouser with an Uditore blazer, handles an office winter. Over it, a Nembo cocoon coat in pure wool.

United Kingdom and Europe. Cady is the travel cloth: it packs well and wears through a long day. A Linz blazer with Jerta trousers covers London, Paris and Milan meetings.

The Gulf. In the UAE and Saudi Arabia, the evening pieces and silk satin shirts lead. Long envers satin skirts, wide cady trousers and long-sleeved silk satin shirts give modest cover in a light weight, and a velvet blazer suits air-conditioned winter evenings.

Australia and Asia. With the seasons reversed, Australian shoppers buy silk shirts and cady now and wool for June. In Singapore and Hong Kong, the cady and silk pieces work all year.

Coveti ships worldwide by DHL Express and FedEx International Priority. Prices are shown in US dollars, and duties are usually payable on import.

Frequently asked questions

What is Max Mara Studio?

Max Mara Studio is one of the lines sold under the Max Mara name and listed on maxmara.com. On Coveti it has 253 live pieces, led by trousers, blazers, coats and knitwear, priced from $430 to $6,430. Its launch year and its designers are not published by the house.

Is Max Mara Studio cheaper than Max Mara?

Yes, on average. The middle Studio piece on Coveti costs $950, against $1,320 for the main Max Mara line. Studio blazers start at $1,150 and main-line blazers at $1,500; Studio coats start at $1,190 and main-line coats at $1,720. The gap comes mostly from fibre: the main line uses more cashmere and camel hair.

What is the difference between Max Mara Studio and ‘S Max Mara?

Studio is built around tailoring, with 35 blazers, 48 trousers and seven evening gowns, in cady, flannel, envers satin and velvet. ‘S Max Mara is built around wool coats, knitwear and casual tailoring such as wool joggers, and has no gowns. Prices are close: a middle price of $950 against $850.

Can I buy a Max Mara Studio suit?

Yes, as matching separates. The Linz cady blazer pairs with the Jerta and Bimba cady trousers, the Uditore flannel blazer with the Lago flannel trousers, and the Marina jacket with the Gioia trousers in the same wool and silk Donegal. Buy each piece in its own size.

Is Max Mara Studio good quality?

Read the composition line. Eighteen of the 36 coats on Coveti are 100% virgin wool, two robe coats are pure cashmere, and the shirts are 94% silk. Much of the tailoring is in triacetate cady, a practical cloth chosen for shape and travel rather than for warmth.

What is new in Max Mara Studio for Fall Winter 2026?

Twenty-eight pieces, led by cotton velvet blazers and trousers, mannish silk satin shirts in pearl grey and silk white, the Nembo cocoon-fit coat in black and green, the Effige tuxedo coat and the Eroso tweed robe coat. Wool and cashmere cable knits in green and white complete the drop.
