Why Max Mara Coats Are a Winter Must-Have – And Where to Find Them in Consignment
When we talk about timeless winter elegance, one name stands above the rest: Max Mara. Known for its flawless tailoring, luxurious fabrics, and understated chic, a Max Mara coat is more than just outerwear — it's an iconic wardrobe investment. And the good news? You don’t have to pay full price to own one — not if you shop through luxury consignment.
Max Mara: The Art of the Coat Since 1951
Founded in Italy, Max Mara has become synonymous with refined, high-quality fashion, especially through its exceptional coats made from wool, cashmere, and alpaca. The most famous design, the "Manuela" coat, is reimagined each season, loved for its fluid silhouette, shawl collar, and waist belt.
Other cult-favorite models include:
-
Teddy Bear Coat: an oversized, plush coat crafted from alpaca and silk – warm, bold, and ultra-stylish.
-
Lilia Coat: sleek and minimal with no buttons, it wears like an elegant robe.
-
101801: the classic double-breasted coat with a masculine cut and timeless appeal.

Tips for Choosing a Max Mara Coat in Consignment
-
Check the fabric – Look for pure wool, virgin wool, alpaca, or cashmere blends for authentic Max Mara quality.
-
Inspect the condition – Pay attention to seams, lining, buttons, and collars. Max Mara coats age beautifully, but a quick check is key.
-
Try it on (if possible) – Some models are oversized, others more fitted. Fit can vary depending on the style and year.
-
Look at the label – Max Mara coats come with a model reference label inside, which can help you research the original retail value or collection.
