Elevating Marine Wear into Sportswear
Marina Yachting traces its origins to Genoa, Italy, in 1878. It began when Nicolo Gabino, a former sailor who ran a tailor shop, imported durable, functional double-breasted navy jackets (peacoats) from England and sold them in his own shop.
In the 1960s, Giorgio, Gabino's great-grandson, initiated international expansion, and the Marina Yachting brand was launched in 1972. The collection, which elevates marine wear into sportswear, is based on fabrics with waterproof and water-repellent finishes made from newly developed high-performance materials. It features sophisticated Italian items that blend design, functionality, and exceptional tailoring.
Men's Collection Reflects the Brand's Origins
This autumn/winter men's collection traces the brand's "sailing" heritage, presenting new elements through details and materials utilizing modern high-tech innovations. The designs are based on three concepts: masculine, stylish, and elegant.
The iconic coats, meticulously researched and reinterpreted from the British Navy's wardrobe, are highly functional, with particular attention paid to proportion and detail. The "layered style," a brand icon, highlights the beauty of color contrast between outerwear and innerwear.
Women's Collection Features Fresh Color Palettes
This season's women's collection revives iconic pieces from Marina Yachting's heritage, focusing on fabric texture and fit. The peacoats and duffle coats are made from "Marine Wool," treated with traditional Teflon.
Also noteworthy are the noble and beautiful color proposals, including new shades of pink and smoky blue, alongside the signature white and navy blue.
