100% Cotton
This high-quality shiny cotton is GOTS-certified: this standard recognizes textile products made with natural fibers grown using organic agriculture. It’s woven in Milan by Iafil, a company that has treated cotton since 1890. Every step is done in accordance with the Better Cotton Initiative, the world’s largest cotton sustainability scheme, supporting the environment and indigenous communities.
Iafil selects fibers grown in fields free from chemical pesticides and fertilizers and creates the thread using cutting-edge technology that stabilizes the product, making it resistant to pilling and distortion. During the dyeing process, they use certified organic pigments that bring out the natural features of the thread while staying kind to the world.
Care
This garment can be washed in the washing machine, on a low spin cycle that doesn’t exceed 30°C. Lay it out flat to dry to ensure it keeps its shape well.
If you’d like to be even gentler, wash it by hand: leave to soak for 5 minutes, rinse and wring it out while keeping it wrapped up in a towel to preserve the natural fibers.
Last tip from us: be conservative with the detergent and softener, there’s no need to overdo it. Store the clean folded garment in a cool dry place.
Design
Great craftsmanship begins with premium quality ethically-sourced materials, giving you a garment that will last a lifetime. That’s why our artisans must carry out various anti-pilling tests once a garment is pieced together. Pilling occurs naturally with most knitwear, but less so when the clothing is good quality. We take care to minimize it as much as possible, so we subject each sample to friction tests and assess the outcome. It’s a time-consuming process that requires a lot of trial and error, but that in the end gives us a longer lasting sweater.
It is made using 6-ply yarn and knitted at 5 gauge thickness. The gauge refers to the number of needles per inch on the needle bed. The higher the number of needles, the finer the yarn needs to be.
Drop stitching the yarn makes the garment more refined and well-balanced. Drop stitching means lowering the needles in the machine to create curves in the knit without using scissors: a premium technique that guarantees less waste.
The raglan sleeve construction connects the collar to the armhole diagonally, with one strip of fabric going from the sleeve to the neckline. It’s often used for casual clothing, because it creates more room to move.
Knitwear gets washed after being made so it will stay just as beautiful as you see it. Our artisans line up and full the fabric during the production phase - this process brings out the softness in the wool.
