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 Italian Mill is deeply committed to environmental progress by operating on renewable energy and holding their subcontractors through their supply chain to the same standard. They have committed to protecting animal welfare through many of their certifications as well as by purchasing only from breeders that are held to standards of No Mulesing, Ceased Mulesing, or Pain Relief (instances where sheep are treated with anesthetic). They are certified by the following standards: Ethic.Et CEA - [RWS 2020-013] ICEA - [GRS 2020-054] Sustaina Wool UNI EN ISO 9001:2015 Global Recycled Standard (GRS).

Blended fibers take on properties of the joining counterparts to achieve uniquely desirable characteristics.

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.

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.
