This garment was produced at a family-owned Italian factory. It was initially founded in 1957 as a traditional tailor shop, transitioning to become a factory in 1985. Today it is run by the founder’s daughter and her husband.

This textile company was founded in 1992, with a focus on innovation. In 2016, they joined the Greenpeace Detox Project, committing to eliminate harmful substances for environment and human health from their production cycle by 2020. The mill treats and reuses wastewater, and complies with the following certifications: Better Cotton Initiative (BCI), Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) for cotton, Ecocert Organic Content Standard (OCS) for cotton, Recycled Blended Claim Standard (RCS), Recycled Down Standard (RDS), and Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC).

Cashmere is one of the most luxurious wools, with desirable drape, softness and wrinkle resistance. It is up to three times more insulating than regular wool, with lofty fibers that can be tightly knit into warm and lightweight fabric. Like all wool, it wicks moisture and allows skin to breathe. Cashmere is considered hypoallergenic, since it doesn’t have lanolin. While more delicate than other wool, cashmere garments will not lose their shape if properly cared for. This is due to the fiber’s natural stretch that allows garment to move with you and recover.
