There's a particular kind of confidence that comes from knowing your outfit is already doing the work before you've even walked out the door. The Marlowe is that outfit. An ivory linen top with gathered puff sleeves that cinch into an elasticated cuff — feminine without being fussy. A gold front-zip that replaces every button you've ever wrestled with. Below: full-length wide-leg trousers with a drawstring waist in the same ivory linen, falling clean and unbroken to the floor. Together they read like a set that cost more than it cost and took more effort than it did.
"The Marlowe's gold zipper is the detail we always come back to. It's functional — you unzip it as much as you want — but it also reads like jewellery on the top. Pair with gold earrings and you're done. It's the kind of shortcut we look for in a piece." — The Montelli Family
✔ Gold front-zip — a full-length zipper with a gold pull that doubles as a neckline detail. Adjustable open or closed, from the most demure to just enough.
✔ Gathered puff sleeves — voluminous through the upper arm with a gathered elasticated cuff at the elbow. The sleeve that gives shape to a relaxed silhouette without weighing it down.
✔ Elasticated hem band — a gentle cinch at the bottom of the top that defines the waist and prevents the top from overwhelming the trousers. The detail that creates proportion in an otherwise relaxed set.
✔ Drawstring wide-leg trousers — full length with a linen tie at the waist that adjusts to you. Clean through the leg, fluid at the hem, with enough volume to feel natural and enough structure to feel intentional.
✔ Ivory linen-look fabric — breathable and lightweight with a soft texture. The colour that plays well with gold jewellery, tan sandals, a straw bag, or absolutely nothing else.
✔ Coordinating top and trousers — cut from the same ivory fabric so the set coordinates perfectly. No styling decisions — it’s all worked out for you.
Gold zipper. Puff sleeve. The ivory set that looks like an entire outfit plan perfectly executed.

▸ Why it doesn't arrive tomorrow
Our garments ship directly from the workshop that has been sewing them for us for twenty years, without passing through a store. That's why they take 7 to 12 days. And for the same reason, you have 30 days to change your mind: if you bought it in a store, you'd have 14.
L’ho indossato a un matrimonio e mi sono sentita elegante tutta la sera. La vestibilità valorizza la silhouette senza stringere.
Il tessuto ha una bella caduta e una mano di qualità, non sembra affatto economico. Si vede la cura nei dettagli.
Ordine arrivato puntuale e ben confezionato. La taglia corrisponde alla guida, non ho dovuto cambiare nulla.
Lo abbino in mille modi, dall’ufficio alla sera. È diventato un capo jolly del mio guardaroba.
L’ho lavato più volte e resta impeccabile, non perde forma né colore. Comodo da indossare tutto il giorno.
Ricevo sempre complimenti quando lo metto. Comodo, versatile e davvero curato nelle finiture.
Excellent 4.7 / 5 ★★★★★
I almost never recommend anything. This, I do. Text: The quality is exceptional, and I say this as someone who usually always finds something to complain about. I recommend it without hesitation, and that's not a phrase I use often: usually when asked about an online purchase I start with a "but".
Silvia H., Bologna
The quality is excellent and noticeable from the first moment. But what really convinced me is how it fits: it suits me just as I hoped, without pulling anywhere and without looking larger than it is. When buying online, this is what you fear most, and it's precisely what worked well here.
Beatrice R.,Milan
Ordered with some doubt, as always when I buy online without trying it on. Instead, it arrived and fit perfectly right away, no adjustments needed. You can feel the fabric; it's not that light stuff that loses its shape after two washes. The stitching is well done; you can see it when you look closely. Even the packaging was neat, which isn't a given these days. I'll be ordering again.
Elena M., Florence
Beautiful fabrics, and you don't need to be an expert to notice: you can feel it with your hands. The finishes are meticulous, even in the details nobody sees. That's where you see the difference between an inexpensive garment and one that simply costs what it's worth.
Valentina D., Naples
A satin top is either the right size or it's nothing: it either pulls where it shouldn't, or it sags. There's no in-between. It's exactly the kind of garment I would never order online sight unseen. I used the size chart on the product page. I measured myself, compared, and ordered that size. It was perfect on the first try, no exchanges or returns needed. If you're hesitating: measure yourself before ordering. That chart helped me a lot and it's right there, free, two centimeters from the button.
Rosanna T., Turin
Ordered on a Monday, arrived on the Friday of the following week. The tracking worked from day one, so I always knew where it was.
Valentina D., Naples
Finally, a brand that delivers on its promises. I am very satisfied.
Chiara F., Rome
