Learn about our founder
DE MARF was conceived with a singular, yet ambitious purpose: to inspire individuals to leave their mark on the world by transforming meaningful stories into garments.
During his childhood, Patrick Cadei, the brand's founder, spent countless hours in his aunt's art gallery. It was there that he made a striking observation: while others merely saw paintings, his aunt saw stories. She possessed the ability to speak passionately about each piece, uncovering meaning beyond the visual art itself.
This revelation laid the foundation for DE MARF, a brand devoted to crafting meaningful clothing. We are committed to sustainability, supporting emerging artists, and preserving the quality and traditions of Italian craftsmanship, a heritage dear to Patrick Cadei.
