" Maskit House in Jerusalem - Maskit (Hebrew: משכית‎) is an Israeli fashion house founded in 1954 by Ruth Dayan, the first wife of Moshe Dayan. It was the country's first fashion house. Maskit produces textiles, clothing, objets d’art, and jewelry.

In an interview in 1966, Leitersdorf spoke about the "Israeliness" of Maskit clothing. It was not just the Yemenite embroidery, she said, but the "range of colors - the desert brown, the impure black inspired by Bedouin tents, and the eternally changing blue of the Mediterranean." She also cited the loose design, which made life more comfortable in the country's hot climate.

Maskit enjoyed worldwide success in the 1960s, with clients that included Audrey Hepburn. From the 1960s to the 1980s, Maskit employed 2,000 people, with ten stores in Israel and one in New York. Maskit garments were sold by Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue." - Wikipedia
