Maia graduated in fashion design at University of Art and Design Cluj-Napoca(UAD), Romania in 2010. After a brief internship at Jolidon (the company awarded with winning both the Grand Jury Prize and the Specialized Public at Salon International de la Lingerie Paris many times along the years), Maia has decided that it is time to start his own company and brand.

We use cutting techniques and pattern construction to produce garments that require a very high level of manual work quality for each product. The result is unique high value pieces of clothing that pass the time test. It takes 3 people and approximately 48 hours to complete a silk handmade dress: cutting the base, sewing on the machine, assembling cuts, applying and fitting the zipper, pleating the silk manually at high temperatures and sewing it by hand, followed by a final check with quality control at every step. The secret recipe of Maia Ratiu dresses is the use of top quality materials: 100% natural silk, natural lining (cotton, silk and viscose) and designer's knowledge in product design and technology.
The entire production of the Maia Ratiu brand is made in ROMANIA, in its own workshops in Maramures and Cluj Napoca.
