Tricoté en Ombrie, Italie

Le « Made in Italy » confère une validation quasi instantanée dans l'univers du cachemire — cependant, les choses ne sont jamais aussi simples, nombre d'ateliers choisissant de rogner sur la qualité et de se tourner vers une production de moindre niveau afin de rivaliser avec les offres démocratisées de la fast-fashion. En quête d'un lieu aux standards exceptionnels pour la maille de notre collection « Quintessential », nous avons parcouru de nombreux ateliers boutique disséminés à travers le pays (principalement autour du Piémont, de Gênes, de Bologne, et enfin de l'Ombrie), jusqu'à découvrir un endroit tout à fait spécial. L'artisan fondateur de cet atelier en Ombrie a fait ses premiers pas dans le monde du textile et de la maille à l'âge de dix-sept ans, en acceptant un apprentissage auprès de sa tante. Artisane renommée elle-même, elle l'a formé pendant plus d'une décennie jusqu'à ce qu'il ait acquis l'expérience et les contacts qu'il estimait nécessaires pour ouvrir son propre atelier. Aujourd'hui, la petite entreprise qui a ouvert avec seulement deux machines s'est développée sous le regard attentif de sa famille, qui continue de diriger l'atelier. Ces artisans confectionnent de magnifiques pièces en maille à partir de certains des matériaux de la plus haute qualité pour des maisons de luxe du monde entier. Le plus important pour eux est la perpétuation d'un artisanat italien authentique et raffiné.

Craftsmanship

##Toutes les laines Mérinos ne se valent pas, et nous ne voulions que la meilleure. Le choix de la source de notre fil pour cette collection était simple — Zegna Baruffa. Fournissant aux maisons de luxe le meilleur pour leurs produits, Zegna Baruffa est réputée pour filer certaines des meilleures laines Mérinos disponibles. Zegna Baruffa Lane Borgosesia est le leader mondial de la production de fils fins pour la maille de haute qualité. Zegna Baruffa a été fondée en 1924 et a acquis en 1974 la prestigieuse entreprise Lane Borgosesia (1850). Aujourd'hui, Zegna Baruffa Lane Borgosesia achète 10 millions de kilogrammes de laine Mérinos brute australienne. La laine Mérinos superfine est la véritable vedette, et même ainsi, la filature cherche à améliorer continuellement le fil produit en employant les dernières technologies et en veillant constamment à utiliser les pratiques les plus respectueuses de l'environnement.

Material

##Quelle est la différence ici ? La fierté et la réputation. Au fil d'années de formation, de travail acharné et d'expérience, on peut acquérir un savoir-faire, perfectionner un art et devenir un maître. Mais sans fierté, rien ne garantit qu'on ne prendra jamais de raccourci et qu'on livrera toujours le plus haut niveau de qualité possible. La fierté peut être une vertu et c'est en fin de compte la différence qui pousse cette humble famille à donner le meilleur d'elle-même pour ne créer que les plus belles mailles. Nous l'avons appris au fil du temps et, en faisant confiance aux mauvaises personnes, nous avons commis des erreurs par le passé, apprenant à nos dépens qu'il y a beaucoup de talent dans le monde mais que le talent n'a aucun sens sans fierté ni honneur. Cariaggi peut nous fournir un ingrédient spécial, mais sans les maîtres appliquant leurs compétences pour s'assurer que chaque article est tricoté selon des normes sans compromis, tout cela serait vain. La fierté — de la famille dont ils sont issus, de l'art transmis de génération en génération, du pays qu'ils représentent et du produit qu'ils livrent.

Knitwear>Knitted Sweaters & Tops>The Perfect Men's Extrafine Merino Wool V-neck

  • Knitted in Umbria, Italy
  • 100% Fine Merino Wool sourced from Zegna Barruffa Lane Borgosesia
  • 2 ply
  • Dry clean or hand wash
  • Do not tumble-dry or hang to dry
  • Use a de-pilling comb to maintain softness

In a clean, true black, this extrafine merino V-neck is the ultimate layering essential — sharp enough to wear solo beneath a sport coat, refined enough to disappear under tailoring without adding bulk. The black holds its depth wash after wash, never fading to that washed-out charcoal that plagues lesser knits.

It took us some time to develop this block. We started with the classic fit which was knitted in Hawick, Scotland, and continued to the slim fit from Biella, Italy, and then finally after we had garnered the experience and feedback necessary from customers we set out to create from scratch, the perfect fit. The perfect fit is what we can best describe as a regular fit — not classic, not too contemporary, just the perfect fitting, reliable, and meticulously made men's merino V-neck.

Knitted in Umbria, Italy

Made in Italy carries an almost instant validation in the world of Cashmere - however, it's never quite simple with many facilities choosing to cut corners and engage in lower-quality production in order to compete with the 'democratized offerings of fast-fashion. Seeking somewhere with exceptional standards for the knitwear in our 'Quintessential' collection, we searched through many of the boutique facilities peppered across the country (mainly around Piedmont, Genoa, Bologna, and finally Umbria), until we found a place that was rather special. The founding craftsman of this workshop in Umbria took his first step into the world of textiles and knitwear at the age of seventeen, when he accepted an apprenticeship working for his aunt. A renowned artisan herself, she groomed him for over a decade until he had garnered the experience and contacts he felt necessary to open his own shop. Today, the small business that opened with just two pieces of machinery has expanded under the watchful eyes of his family, who continue to run the workshop. These artisans craft beautiful knitwear from some of the highest quality materials for luxury houses all over the world. Most important to them is the continuation of beautiful, authentic Italian craftsmanship.

What's the difference here?

Pride and reputation. Through years of training, hard work, and experience, one can gain skill, perfect an art form, and become a master. But without pride, there is nothing to ensure they will never cut a corner and constantly deliver the highest standard possible. Pride can be a virtue and it is ultimately the difference that pushes this humble family to put their all into creating only the finest knits. We have learned this over time and by trusting the wrong people have made mistakes in the past, learning the hard way that there is plenty of talent in the world but talent is meaningless without pride and honour. Cariaggi might provide us with a special ingredient, but without the masters applying their skills to ensure each item is knitted to uncompromising standards, it would all be for naught. Pride - in the family they are from, the art form that has been passed down through generations, the country they represent, and the product they deliver.
