Centring around an on-going commitment to style and quality, Distribuzione Stella is a sound family business and is one of very few entirely Italian small to medium enterprises in the clothing for infants sector. Founded in Putignano, Puglia, through the dedication and hard work of entrepreneur Lucia Totaro, who today is supported by her family in managing the company, Stella has pursued sartorial elegance and excellence since the very beginning. The quality of its creations, upheld over the years due its pursuit of creativity and innovation and its use of only the best materials, is proof of a high level of manufacturing, made possible only through its strict adherence to the concept of “total made in Italy”  - certified by the Institution for the safeguarding of Italian manufacturers – and by a chain of production which is one hundred per cent internal, from the yarn to the finished item.

Over the years the company has always believed and invested in its capacity to offer a product of excellence: first with the Stella line, designed for the large-scale retail market, and then with the creation of Marlù, a ready-to-wear line targeting a more exclusive market.  And today, inevitably, it has reached the point in its journey where it needs to take the next step, complementing and rounding off its existing collection.  The new Marlù “haute couture” line has naturally evolved out of the company’s history, concentrating on what are its strengths – ceremony clothes for infants, from 0 to 3 years of age – and targeting, with its refined elegance and the extreme capabilities of its craftspeople and tailors, its natural reference market: the national and international hi-end & luxury market.
