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.

##Tissé à partir des plus beaux cotons égyptiens Giza 86 et Giza 70 à fibres longues et extra-longues. En 1820, Mohammed Ali Pacha, le fondateur de l'Égypte moderne, planta pour la première fois en Égypte du coton Sea Island et des graines brésiliennes. Dès lors, le plus beau coton au monde naquit en Égypte, de l'union des meilleures graines du monde avec le climat incomparable de ce pays. Pour cette pièce, nous avons utilisé un mélange spécial de fibres longues (supérieures à 33 mm (longues) et supérieures à 36 mm (extra-longues)) qui sont également extrêmement fines et présentent un haut degré d'uniformité dans la section. Malgré cela, le coton Giza 86 et Giza 70 est étonnamment résistant et possède une haute résistance aux contraintes - idéal pour les pièces à jauge fine et les tissages doux et soyeux.

Material

##L'Italie a une longue tradition de création de certains des plus beaux vêtements au monde. La différence de qualité dans l'article véritablement fabriqué en Italie doit être expérimentée pour être comprise. Des vêtements sont fabriqués partout dans le monde, cependant les petites poches de fabrication axée sur la mode lente encore présentes dans certaines régions d'Italie restent largement inégalées grâce à l'accès aux matériaux mais surtout à l'expérience des confectionneurs qui passent la majeure partie de leur vie à perfectionner des compétences transmises de génération en génération. Pour la maille fine la mieux confectionnée, la plus douce et la plus soyeuse - il n'y a qu'un seul véritable choix.

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

Woven from some of the finest Giza 86 and Giza 70 long and extra-long staple Egyptian cotton.

In 1820, Mohammed Ali Pasha, the founder of modern Egypt, planted for the first time in Egypt, Sea Island cotton and Brazilian seeds. There after finding the finest cotton in the world was born in Egypt, from the marriage of the world's best seeds with the unparalleled climate of this country. For this piece we have used a special mix of long fibers (above 33 mm (long) and above 36 mm (extra-long)) are also extremely fine and exhibit a high degree of uniformity in the section. Despite this, Giza 86 and Giza 70 cotton is surprisingly strong and has a high resistance to stress - ideal for fine gauge pieces and soft and silky weaves.

Italy has a longstanding tradition of creating some of the finest clothing in the world.

The quality difference in the genuine Italian-made article has to be experienced to be understood. Clothing is made from all around the world, however the small pockets of slow fashion focused manufacturing that is still present in some parts of Italy goes largely unmatched due to the access to material but more so the experience of the garment-makers who spend most of their life perfecting their skills which have been passed down through generations. For the most well made, softest, silkiest fine gauge knitwear - there is only one real choice.
