We don't source products. We create brands.
MARKAGENIE Collection was born from a conviction: the textile of tomorrow will not be made by large impersonal machines, nor designed in offices disconnected from production. It will come from studios where creative thinking and technical know-how share the same walls.
Our team includes product designers, art directors, prototype makers and textile technicians. This integrated creative chain allows us to go from a brief to a wearable prototype in a few days — and from prototype to production run in a few weeks.
It is this velocity, combined with a rare consistency of vision, that allows us to build proprietary brands with a strong identity — and to offer the same capability to our B2B partners.
Shape design, material selection, colour range construction. From the initial sketch to the final tech packs.
Brand identity, visual storytelling, collection consistency season after season. The world that makes the brand recognisable.
Prototype manufacturing in our own workshop, cut testing, pattern adjustments. Rapid iteration without subcontractors.
Sublimation, CNC embroidery, DTG printing. The technical mastery that transforms a generic product into a desirable one.
Computer-aided pattern making, grading, optimised cut placement. Digital precision at the service of craftsmanship.
Semi-digital
The irreplaceable hand, refined by digital.
The MARKAGENIE Collection workshop brings together in a continuous flow the three major steps of textile manufacturing: precision digital cutting, artisan assembly on industrial machines, and digital finishing. Each step is designed to feed into the next — CAD patterns go directly to the cutting plotter, and cut pieces arrive at the sewing stations already organised by size.
What makes this workshop "semi-digital" is not a marketing label: it is the recognition that certain steps — assembly, quality checking, the hand on the fabric — cannot be delegated to a machine without losing what matters most.
Cutting plotter or vibrating blade driven by CAD patterns. Perfect reproducibility, zero material waste, automatic grading.
Specialist industrial machines per product type — flatlock for swimwear, 5-thread overlock for Breton striped tops, chain stitch for foutas.
Roller calender sublimation, multi-head CNC embroidery, direct-to-textile printing. The visual signatures that make the brands.
Flat seaming by digital robot — what nobody else does at this MOQ.
The most complex link in textile manufacturing is not the cutting, nor the finishing — it is the assembly. Flat seaming (flatseam) of a swimsuit requires precise curved paths to the tenth of a millimetre, constant thread tension, and zero error on body lines. MARKAGENIE Collection has integrated CNC-driven flat seaming — the same technological level as Arena, Speedo or Nike — accessible from 50 pieces.
Four coastal worlds
Laminaire
The fouta of tomorrow. Turkish cotton weaving, ranges designed by our studio and printed by sublimation, reduced footprint. Pareos, beach and hammam foutas — for those who know that luxury is lightness.
Every Laminaire pattern is drawn in-house — seaweed, swell, raking light. No stock of generic patterns. Art direction: Atlantic coastal world, exclusive seasonal palette.
Baïne
The baïne is the coastal current that sweeps you away. Swimsuits in recycled ECONYL®, cut studied by our prototype makers, graphic sublimation created in-house. For the Atlantic, not the pool.
Every model is prototyped in the workshop before validation. Flatlock cut tested on real bodies, adjustments integrated season after season.
Gabier
The gabier has kept watch for centuries. Breton striped tops in GOTS-certified organic cotton, stripes drawn in-house, CNC signature embroidery. The real gap between Armor Lux and Saint-James — filled.
Gabier stripes do not come from a catalogue: they are drawn down to the thread width. Each season, two new exclusive colourways.
Archipel
For hotels, spas, boutiques and residences who want a collection in their own image. Archipel opens the studio and workshop to third-party brands: design, prototyping, production and finishing — your visual identity, our expertise. MOQ 50 pieces.
The Archipel partner has direct access to our designers and prototype makers during the design phase. The collection is entirely produced in the MARKAGENIE workshop, without intermediary.
From brief to finished product
Seven steps fully mastered in-house — from the initial creative idea to the final finishing. No intermediary, no loss in translation.

What we can do together
Hotels, spas, lifestyle boutiques — our designers create your collection under your visual identity. Prototyping, production, finishing: everything stays in-house.
You already have your designs. We produce and finish according to your files, with our certified workshop and expertise in technical textile materials.
Art direction, textile design, development of exclusive patterns or colour ranges for your own production chain. The studio without the workshop.
