M.A+ is the label of Italian designer Maurizio Amadei, who worked with Maurizio Altieri's Carpe Diem in Perugia in the late 1990s before launching his own line near Rome. It started with accessories and now covers clothing, footwear and leather goods. Construction drives the work: garments cut with as few seams as possible, one-piece bags such as the stitchless Shell, hand-made silver buttons, slim silhouettes and fabrics sourced from Japan and Europe. Production stays small-scale in Italy, distributed through avant-garde stockists rather than a broad retail network.
