It was founded over 2.500 years ago and it is one of the oldest cities in the world,
It is also called East Babylon, because it was an important crossroads of different cultures and ethnic groups.

The concept

Samarcanda was born in 2023 from Cristina Monte’s. passion for travelling the world, from her sophisticated research of worldwide fabrics , imported and manufactured in Italy by skilled and experienced Italian seamstresses. The “ Samarcanda style”, exclusively made of unique garments, celebrates beauty and the ispiration of woman to create harmony. Samarcanda garments extend beyond the confines and break the rules of creating. In the modern paradox between iperconnection and incommunicability, they become a new form of expression of one’s self..

Messing up is breaking boundaries

Italian art of tailoring

All Samarcanda garments and accessories are sewn and packaged in Italy by skilled artisans of Italian tailoring, leather processing and millinery. The working hours of each Samarcanda garment are over 40 and from 2 to 15 meters of natural fiber fabrics from various parts of the world are used.

The fabrics are selected from existing samples and not produced on request, to prevent overproduction and resource waste. Pure and mixed polyamide and polyester are excluded.
Every Samarcanda garment is unique in its composition and the way fabrics are combined.
