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 dramatiques de température dans leur environnement naturel, les chèvres Hircus ont développé une belle sous-toison duveteuse. Le cachemire obtenu à partir des chèvres Hircus est fin de texture, résistant, léger et doux. Il offre une excellente isolation et dure tout simplement plus longtemps sans perdre ses fibres ni boulocher, car les chèvres Hircus doivent développer un poil suffisamment long pour résister aux rudes plaines extérieures de la Mongolie.

Material

De nos jours, il n'est pas difficile de trouver un pull en cachemire dans les grandes enseignes. Mais il y a une raison à ce prix étonnamment bas.

Le cachemire de basse qualité, produit en masse, donne un produit décevant qui perd ses poils et bouloche facilement. Il ne fait pas le poids face au véritable cachemire de haute qualité, fabriqué selon des procédés traditionnels et provenant de communautés qui transmettent leurs méthodes de collecte depuis des générations.

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 temperature in their natural environment, Hircus goats have developed a beautiful, downy under-fleece. Cashmere acquired from Hircus goats is fine in texture, strong, light and soft. It provides excellent insulation and simply lasts longer without shedding or piling, as Hircus goats need to develop hair long enough to withstand the hardy outer Mongolian plains. 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.

Nowadays, it’s not hard to get your hands on a cashmere jumper on the high street. But there’s a reason for that enticingly low price tag.

Low grade, mass produced cashmere makes for a disappointing product that sheds and piles easily. It’s got nothing on the real high-quality stuff, manufactured through traditional processes and sourced from communities that have passed down collection methods for generations.
