This streamlined style in heavy double satin is fitted with a flattering ease through the bodice and hips, before subtly flaring out towards the sweep. A strong multi-pleat sculpted sleeve in leather frames the powerful presence of this piece, recalling a bold warrior-like silhouette.

Details:

• 100% Silk (China). Dying/finishing/weaving in Italy.

Silk is known for its luxurious drape, luster and ability to take rich color. It is the strongest natural fiber and has low density, creating light and comfortable fabric. Silk’s resilient elasticity maintains garment shape, and its smooth surface is resistant to attracting dirt. Silk keeps you cool in warm weather and provides insulating warmth in cool weather.

This mill takes great care in cultivating its silk, including organically grown mulberry plants for silkworm consumption. The yarns are then spun in the southwest part of China, bordering Tibet. This mill complies with the following standards: Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), Institute for Ethical and Environmental Certification (ICEA).

This garment was made by a factory audited by LVMH & Kering, and is in progress of obtaining environmental certifications SA8000 – ISO14001 – ISO45001 & GOTS. They are highly invested in their local community and have even partnered and financed a local bakery which employs disabled individuals.
