A luxurious designer scarf that is also stylish can be hard to find particularly if you would like an elegant design and pattern. It should also be expertly woven in the finest threads and of course be super soft and warm.

On one of our sourcing trips to Italy, we discovered an exclusive artisan textile supplier, Maalbi, that covers all of these important qualities and so much more. Maalbi are a small family run company based in Biello, a small town in Northern Italy and known as the city of wool. First established in 1947 by the Sasso family, this 70 year old company is now run by the 3rd generation descendants who still maintain the high standards and artistic integrity of the founders and have taken the brand forward to be a world leader in the production of high end scarves and stoles, using only the finest silk, wool and linen yarns, strictly "Made in Biella" and of course the "Made in Italy" trademark.

Maalbi's passion starts with the finest raw materials sourced from around the world combined with time consuming finishing procedures that enhance the quality of the yarns. They add Italian design to the weaving to create the most beautifully luxurious, soft scarves and stoles. A selection of these very stylish scarves and stoles are available at Attavanti from classic herringbone, pin stripes, striped, checked to block colours. You will find something that will be treasured, a treat for yourself or a gift for someone special in your life.

Tie it, drape it twist it, knot, pin and cross it. Don't go cold this winter wrap up in a luxurious Maalbi scarf. The ideal gift this festive season.
