Our Story
Family owned, and made in Los Angeles — Stavii marks a new chapter for designer Maria Wojciechowski. Centering on timeless and elevated wardrobe staples, she creates incredible pieces that you'll be reaching for again and again.
Maria's foray into the world of Fashion began in the 80's, when she moved to Italy and began working alongside visionary designer Romeo Gigli. Returning to Los Angeles, she launched Maria Bianca Nero, a label that quickly garnered a cult following for its incredible fit and unique fabric treatments.
In 2022, Maria’s youngest son began collecting vintage pieces from her catalog. Rediscovering her archive sparked Maria’s inspiration to revive and reimagine her most beloved styles through a modern lens. The result is Stavii —an intimate dialogue between past and present. We work exclusively with domestic manufacturers to produce our collections sustainably and ethically. Each piece is made to last, reflecting our commitment to quality, longevity, and timeless style.
