The excellence of Made in Italy lies in its very essence, a supply chain that produces with a focus on values such as creativity, quality, innovation, and sustainability. Italian productions, especially those in the realm of tailoring, are recognized worldwide, a true brand appreciated and loved for its exceptionally high level of quality in material choice and attention to detail.

The origin of this style can be traced back over 70 years ago when the Tuscan aristocrat Giovanni Battista Giorgini organized a fashion show in his magnificent Villa Torrigiani in Florence. The explicit condition for participation was that the models showcased had to be of Italian inspiration and exclusively Italian-made, created by the ten most important Italian fashion houses of the time. The media response was unprecedented, even reaching across the ocean.

Italian fashion has now become a global phenomenon, encompassing colors, cuts, and ideas capable of conveying all the passion and creativity that our designers infuse into their garments. Wearing Italian is a pride that makes the difference between donning a simple piece of clothing and wearing a fashion piece characterized by unmistakable elegance, excellent tailoring, precious fabrics, unparalleled creativity, and innovation.

Brands like Tagliatore, Barba Napoli, Kiton, Valstar, Eleventy, LBM, Kired, stand out in the panorama of Made in Italy for the high-quality materials used, refined style, attention to detail, and the ability to stand the test of time.

As autumn approaches, so do the vibrant hues of foliage, a time of year to draw inspiration from and infuse your wardrobe with the warm shades that only this season can provide. It's a triumphant display of colors that become the focal point of a wave of nuances to inspire your style.

Autumn is not just a season; it's also a state of mind, and fashion follows suit. Outerwear and knitwear are the garments that lend themselves most to these finishes: jackets in shades of green and brown, sweaters and cardigans that appear soaked in burgundy, yellow and orange sweaters, vests and waistcoats in autumnal colors. Let's not forget materials like leather and cashmere, ideal for showcasing these hues.

The colors of foliage are versatile and easily combinable. The safest mix is usually between bright and muted colors, with a preference for tonal combinations that can be broken up with accessories of a lighter or darker shade (like a belt) as needed. Autumn colors can be worn in small accents or as a complete look, perhaps playing with camouflage prints and harmonious color combinations. Just like in forests and woods where colors are never completely uniform.

An important role in the realm of foliage colors is played by denim fabric, one of the best companions when it comes to color coordination. The color of timeless jeans seems to be in perfect harmony with autumnal shades; pairings with blue jeans can lend a refined and sophisticated tone. Even a seemingly minimal look, when paired with the right colors, becomes instantly unique and hard to overlook.

Last but not least, white! The "non-color" that can elevate any outfit with timeless sophistication. The contrast between the autumnal hues and white is unparalleled in its brightness, enhancing the earthy tones and lending itself well to both formal and casual looks, without sacrificing elegance.

The origin of cashmere can be traced back to the ancient communities of Central Asian shepherds, where this fiber evolved alongside civilizations, bridging the gap between the East and the West. Its exceptional quality, unmistakable enveloping sensation, and insulating properties have captivated entire populations, establishing it in the world of fashion as the quintessential noble yarn.

Stretching across Afghanistan, India, and China is the region of Kashmir, which lends its name to the fiber. Here, Hircus breed goats develop a dense undercoat composed of extremely fine and soft fibers. Through a gentle and harmless manual combing process, cashmere is extracted from this undercoat.

The secret behind this warm and incredibly soft fiber lies in its extremely thin thickness: 15 microns (1 micron = 0.001 millimeters) compared to the 24 of Merino wool.

A cashmere garment has always been synonymous with sophistication and uniqueness, but why? Because a cashmere sweater wraps and protects like no other yarn, even when combined with others, as this precious fiber is highly thermoregulating.

Not only sweaters, but all products made of cashmere represent luxury and quality, refinement, and elegance. From the turtleneck sweater to the coat, including accessories such as scarves, hats, and gloves, choosing cashmere for these clothing items guarantees softness and a warm sensation on the skin, providing protection against the cold like few other fabrics can.

Although cashmere is a durable fabric, it requires proper care and attention. It is advisable to hand wash cashmere garments or use specialized washing machines, following the instructions carefully to avoid shrinking or damaging the fibers. Additionally, proper storage is essential to prevent damage from moths.

The cashmere garments you find on our website are made with the finest yarns from the Marche-based mill, Cariaggi, the largest producer of "Made in Italy" luxury fashion textiles. Striking a perfect balance between tradition and technological innovation, this company infuses its products with sophistication and refinement, making Cariaggi yarns in precious cashmere suitable for every season while highlighting the artisanal craftsmanship, creativity, and quality that are typical of Italian products.
