Hand stitching runs on the pea coats and outerwear. Sweaters with large volumes with a honeycomb net effect in alpaca and silk. The Malo logo peeps out in the precious metal elements, embellishing the basic, or it is inlaid in mini scarves that enrich the look.

Since 1972, the year the brand was founded, Malo is from the very beginning synonymous with elegance but also with innovation. At a time when a quality cardigan demanded the Scottish label and offered very few colors, Malo conquers the top among the producers of cashmere knitwear in Italy with completely new shades and patterns for the consumer. The pioneering spirit of the Maison, the highest quality of the yarns, the precious workmanship, and the timeless style, are the characteristics that have been distinguishing the Made in Italy signed Malo for half a century.
