Max Mara ‘Arte Nera’ Tapestry Knit Cardigan

A masterpiece of refined pattern work, the Max Mara ‘Arte Nera’ Tapestry Knit Cardigan blends Italian restraint with archival artistry. Its deep noir motif, woven across a soft neutral base, creates a couture tapestry effect that feels both architectural and organic — the kind of understated opulence characteristic of the Max Mara maison.

The silhouette is intentionally clean: a modest round neckline, slim line through the sleeves, and precise black framing along the placket and hem. Cut just at the hip, it layers elegantly over dresses, satin slips, cinched trousers, or winter knits. The pattern placement is centered and mirrored, offering visual symmetry — a quiet nod to atelier-level craftsmanship.

A piece that feels collected, curated, and unmistakably luxurious.
