Buying pre-ownedHow to read one

Read the piece,
not the name.

With pre-owned Marella, start with the material: for leather, check suppleness at the elbows and collar and the state of the lining; for fur, look at the skins along the hem and the front edges, and at the stitching inside. Then compare flat measurements with a piece you already wear. Our Leather Story and Fur Story explain what to look for.
