Max Mara Camel Lambswool Coat Size L

Nadine walking from a breakfast meeting at the Kempinski in Garden City to her car. Cream roll-neck, dark trousers, flat loafers, this coat open and trailing. No handbag on the shoulder, only a slim folder under the arm. The camel reads as money in a way nothing patterned ever does.

Max Mara is one of the few Italian luxury houses still owned by its founding family. Luigi Maramotti runs the group his father Achille built in 1951, and the house still operates its own wool mill in Reggio Emilia, which is why the camel colour is consistent from one decade of production to the next. The 101801 coat entered the collection in 1981 and has stayed there, unchanged, ever since. Sold Attire sourced this piece through our curated Japan auction channel, where the pre-loved Max Mara Cairo market treats the long camel as a category of its own, not as last season's outerwear.

Is a Max Mara lambswool coat the same as the 101801?

No. The 101801 is specifically the camel hair and virgin wool blend. Max Mara also produces lambswool long coats at a lower price point in the same silhouette. Construction and cut are close. Fibre and weight differ. Both hold value in the resale market, but the 101801 commands a premium.

How do I date a vintage Max Mara coat?

Check the interior label. Older Max Mara pieces carry a printed tag with the SKU and the mill address in Reggio Emilia. Recent production adds a composition and care label in multiple languages. Hand-stitched interior lining seams and covered buttons point to earlier Italian production runs.

Does a camel coat work in Cairo winters?

Yes. Cairo winters sit in the range lambswool was built for, roughly 10 to 18 degrees at the lowest, with wind. A long lambswool coat is more useful here than in most European cities, because it handles the temperature swing from morning to midday without overheating.

Dry clean only, once per season at most. Store on a wide wooden hanger to preserve shoulder shape, inside a breathable cotton garment bag. Never plastic. Spot clean oil marks immediately with a dry cloth, never with water. Rotate cedar blocks in the wardrobe through the off-season to deter moths.
