Marotta
Campania’s citrus-perfumed, lemon-surrounded way of life glows at Marotta, Atlantic Avenue’s newest boutique in Delray Beach. Just a short walk from the beach, Marotta mimics the seaside negozi of the Amalfi Coast where lemon-, floral-, and mosaic-printed dresses flutter in the Mediterranean breeze.

Step one foot into Marotta, and this is what you’ll find.

Womens and menswear line the walls in a world of summer fashion, southern Italian style. Husband-and-wife founders Pasquale and Esperanza Marotta source all materials from Naples, where Pasquale was born. Not only does every item come straight from Campania itself, but Marotta produces everything in limited batches to merge exclusivity with responsible slow fashion. The result? High-quality materials with luxury craftsmanship, the kind you’ll find in the Old Country.

Marotta’s roots stem from Esperanza’s frequent travels to her husband’s home city and her love of its neighbors: Ravello, Positano, Capri, and all of Amalfi.

“Our garments are inspired by Italy’s gorgeous scenery,” said Esperanza Marotta. “The bright colors, the beautiful sea, the lemons, the flowers. All of the Amalfi Coast’s simple, natural elements play a role in our designs.”

Pasquale Marotta hails from a family of entrepreneurs and delivers a distinct Napolitano ingenuity to the business. Esperanza spearheads the boutique, sourcing materials and handcrafting new collections and designs each spring. The couple’s love of Pasquale’s Napolitano heritage—and Marotta’s homage to the Amalfi Coast’s natural beauty—drove the brand’s first boutique to Worth Avenue in West Palm Beach. From there, Marotta’s unique offering expanded its location to Delray Beach, its seaside headquarters in the heart of a bustling main street.

“Marotta is dedicated to bringing luxurious, exclusive, and personalized tailoring to our clients,” continued Marotta. “Like artisans across Italy, we offer a devotion to craftsmanship and devote painstaking time and detail to each piece, from initial design sketching to the final display in our shop.”

Marotta is ever-evolving and from its new Delray Beach location, launches fresh collections each season. This includes the expansion of its menswear line alongside the Italian fem in its dresses and accessories. Also on the horizon is the launch of its website, Marotta’s digital hub for online orders, collection spotlights, and latest news.

Shop Marotta at 822 East Atlantic Avenue, Delray Beach, Florida.
