  • Cotton is a natural plant fiber that is favored for its softness, breathability and comfort. It grows in warm climates on 6 continents. High quality cotton is easy to care for, due to its ability to withstand washing, detergents and heat.

    "This mill was first founded in 1838 as a cotton producer and became the first in Italy to produce velvet and moleskin textiles. All steps of production are still done locally today, which helps to reduce carbon emissions that would otherwise come from transportation between industrial processes. When possible, they try to use natural processes instead of chemical. For example, they only use natural finishing and washing agents to create the desired performance and feel of material. In comparison, conventional finishing byproducts include heavy metals and microplastics that go into environment. Additionally, they have replaced some of the typical chemical or metal elements of dye process with natural ingredients. They comply with the following standards: OEKO TEX 100 Standard - Certified Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) - capable "

    This Italian factory was founded in 2003 by three women, two of whom are sisters with impressive family lineage in fashion and garment craftsmanship. Their grandmother was a gifted talent scout who discovered Martin Margiela, among others, and their father dedicated a lifetime to the art of traditional tailoring.

Fabric

Wool is a renewable fiber; one sheep can produce 4-5 pounds of wool per year. Wool provides warmth by trapping heat, while simultaneously transporting moisture away from the body so skin stays dry and comfortable. It is naturally antimicrobial, so it resists odors and rarely needs washing. Its exceptional durability allows for long garment lifespan, and it can biodegrade when disposed into right soil conditions.
