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

##Tous les cachemires ne se valent pas, et nous ne voulions que le meilleur. Le choix de la source de notre fil était évident – Cariaggi Trois générations, soixante années d'approvisionnement des maisons de luxe avec ce qu'il y a de mieux pour leurs produits : Cariaggi est réputé pour exploiter ce qui est sans doute la filature la plus prestigieuse au monde. Issu de la précieuse chèvre Capra Hircus, que l'on trouve en Mongolie intérieure, où les variations extrêmes de température entre le jour et la nuit favorisent la croissance d'un merveilleux duvet. Ce duvet délicat – ce que nous appelons le cachemire – est reconnu pour sa qualité exceptionnelle et ses propriétés thermorégulatrices. Dans la sélection des fibres, Cariaggi met un soin méticuleux à ne choisir que les grades les plus élevés – avec une longueur moyenne de 40 mm et une finesse de 15,5 microns pour son fil – permettant la création de pièces résistantes au boulochage, alliant légèreté, confort et un toucher luxueusement délicat.

Material

##De nos jours, il n'est pas difficile de se procurer un pull en cachemire dans la grande distribution. Mais il y a une raison à ce prix si atténuant. Le cachemire bas de gamme, produit en masse, donne un produit décevant qui peluche et bouloche facilement. Il n'a rien à voir avec le véritable cachemire de haute qualité, fabriqué selon des procédés traditionnels et provenant de communautés qui transmettent leurs méthodes de collecte depuis des générations.

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.

Not all Cashmere is created equal, and we wanted only the best. The decision of where to source our yarn was simple - Cariaggi

Three generations, sixty years of successfully supplying luxury houses with the very best for their product, Cariaggi is known to operate what is perhaps the most prestigious spinning mill in the world. Sourced from the prized Capra Hircus goat, found in inner Mongolia, where the extreme changes in temperate from day to night leads to the growth of a wonderful downy fleece. This soft down - what we call cashmere - is known for its exceptional quality and temperature adjusting properties. In selecting fibres, Cariaggi goes to great lengths to painstakingly choose only the highest grade - with an average length of 40 mm and 15.5 micron thin for its yarn - allowing for the creation of items that resist pilling and pair lightweight comfort with a luxurious delicate touch.
