Fabriqué artisanalement en Italie

Dans les vallées de l'époustouflante région du Piémont se trouve ce que beaucoup considèrent comme la Mecque textile de l'Italie : Biella. Dans cette petite ville siège une entreprise familiale qui, depuis près de trois siècles, produit la plus belle maille d'Italie. Un débat de longue date dans le monde du luxe oppose les deux titans de la maille, l'Italie et l'Écosse, pour déterminer lequel est véritablement le meilleur. En vérité, cela dépend du produit. Là où les Écossais peuvent triompher dans les mailles épaisses, les maîtres italiens les surpassent avec les mélanges et les points légers. Quoi qu'il en soit, avec plus de 10 générations d'artisans de la plus haute classe à la barre, qui se vantent d'un carnet de commandes comptant parmi les maisons de luxe les plus recherchées au monde... vous ne pouvez vraiment pas vous tromper.

##Nous créons les produits en cachemire les plus doux en acquérant les fibres rares et les plus fines (Grade A) provenant du ventre des chèvres de Mongolie. En raison des fluctuations de température extrêmes sur les vastes plaines de Mongolie, les chèvres Hircus ont développé un magnifique duvet sous leur toison. Chaque printemps, seulement environ 250 grammes de cette toison sont prélevés sur chaque animal et une fois les fibres plus grossières et plus courtes filtrées, il reste moins de 100 grammes de cette belle fibre longue et fine de Grade A.

##Alors, à quoi tout cela mène-t-il ? La production de masse utilisant du cachemire bas de gamme n'a fait que renforcer l'argument en faveur du véritable produit tissé de grade A, hautement artisanal. Les Italiens sont facilement offensés lorsqu'il s'agit de savoir qui fabrique le meilleur cachemire au monde. Ce fut souvent une bataille entre eux et les Écossais pour la première place, mais quand la conversation porte sur les articles mélangés... il n'y a vraiment qu'un seul vainqueur. Tout repose sur leur capacité non seulement à sélectionner les fibres les plus fines, mais aussi à reconnaître la relation entre les deux lors du processus de tissage. Conçu pour durer... il restera intact et ne peluchera ni ne boulochera facilement... et vous gardera au chaud et enveloppé de douceur soyeuse lors des moments frais pendant des années.

Handcrafted in Italy

In the valleys of the breathtaking Piedmont region lies what many consider to be Italy's textile mecca: Biella. In this small town sits a family run operation that has, for just short of three centuries, been producing the finest knitwear in Italy. There has been a long standing debate in the world of luxury about which country of the two titans of knitwear, Italy or Scotland, is truly the best. Truthfully, it depends on the product. Where the Scottish may triumph in heavy knits, the Italian masters trump them with blends and lightweight stitches. Whatever the case, with over 10 generations of the highest class of artisans at the helm, who boast an order book of clients that are some of the most sought after luxury houses in the world... you can't really go wrong.

Product Material

We create the softest cashmere products by acquiring the rare, finest grade (Grade A) fibres from the underbellies of Mongolian goats.

Due to the dramatic fluctuation in temperatures on the vast plains of Mongolia, Hircus goats have developed a beautiful, downy under-fleece. Every spring, only about 250 grams of this fleece is obtained from each animal and once the coarser, shorter fibres are filtered through, less than 100 grams of the beautiful long and thin Grade A fibre remains. Archibald London A $3,000 Men’s Scarf for $575? A New Kind of Bargain by S. Christian (03/05/2017), The Wall Street Journal.

So what does it all lead to? Mass production using low-grade cashmere has only strengthened the case for the true, grade A, highly crafted woven product.

The Italians are easily offended when it comes to the conversation about who makes the best Cashmere in the world. It has often been an up and down battle with the Scots for top spot, however when the conversation comes to the blended items... there really is only the one winner. It comes down to their ability to not only pick out the finest fibers but recognize the relationship between the two during the weaving the process. Made to last… it will hold together and not shed or pile easily… and will keep you warm and 'silky' through chilly moments for years to come.
