La Makanerie is a scarves and stoles brand based on the stories of women in the Mediterranean, transmission and cultural heritage.
What makes La Makanerie special ? Family values, a Mediterranean history and a feminine heritage defended by the two sisters and founders, Rachel and Théa. Marked by a strong Mediterranean imagination since childhood, nourished by the Sicilian and pied-noir influences of their family, they grew up in the South of France.
Working with 100% GOTS-certified, eco-responsible silk and wool, the brand is committed to a future-oriented design that reflects the image of those who inspire it: authentic, daring and free. The pieces are created in small quantities and in limited editions, with two collections per year.
A traditional and committed know-how
A true emblem of French chic, the silk scarf is the essential accessory for asserting one’s personality and values in an urban and ultra-connected everyday life. “Each piece is a manifesto, a claim to freedom, a symbol of the way women look at themselves”, explain the founders who defend the idea of a common Mediterranean identity.
Quality know-how combined with all the attributes of luxury: hand-rolled hems, excellent quality raw materials, patterns designed by creators from the most famous houses.
The brand relies on authentic, free and minimalist values. Their pieces are created exclusively from Italian wool and silk. The materials are certified Global Organic Textile Standard. The production is done in a partner workshop located in Italy in the region of Como, reputed to be the leader of the silk industry in Europe.
“Oran, la boutique”, a memorial collection
For its new collection “Oran, la boutique”, the young brand has chosen to reconstruct, to reinvent, to write new words on a common history that is dear to it.
Drawing on their family history, the two sisters make this new collection a real tribute, a love song to the women who have marked their lives.
They follow in the footsteps of their grandmother Clémente and her sisters, all three of whom were embroiderers and seamstresses in Oran and returned to France after Algeria’s independence. Who are those who share this memory, but on the other side of the Mediterranean ?
Between exile and the quest for identity, the two sisters question their heritage and write a page of their story on the most noble of materials.
