The Derice Sweatshirt in Cashmere and extra fine Merino Wool

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.

##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.
