Made of crisp woven Egyptian cotton in a luxurious 200s yarn count — the absolute pinnacle of our range. Handmade in Galliera Veneta, Italy, with mother-of-pearl buttons, a double-use cuff, hidden pleat, and semi-French soft collar. At this yarn count, the fabric achieves an extraordinary smoothness and drape that simply cannot be replicated at lower grades.
Handmade in Italy
Situated on the historical silk roads, Northern Italian cities have for centuries been at the heart of the textile trade. The cotton industries of medieval Italy drew on the knowledge flowing in from the Islamic world south east on the infamous trade route, and local artisans soon learned to weave the material using their own techniques. But it was only after the second World War that the world acquired a taste for ready made Italian tailoring and technique. Soon enough Italian artisans and fashion houses emerged in full force to clothe the global elite, drawing on a tradition of craftsmanship centuries in the making.
