Merino wool
Merino wool is a refined and versatile fibre, ideal for summer light wool fabrics and heavier fall/winter weights. We use the finest wool in the world sourced from Australia and New Zealand.
Soft and light to the touch, it guarantees maximum comfort in every season, thanks to its thermo-regulating properties.
Merino wool fibres insulate the body from atmospheric humidity, while simultaneously transporting moisture produced by the body outwards into the air. It offers high thermal-insulating performance in winter, high breathability and excellent protection from UVA rays. It protects you from the cold and gives you a unique sensation of freshness. It also has unrivalled antibacterial and anti-odour properties.

Cashmere
Cashmere, from the high Chinese and Mongolian plains straight to our factory workshop. With unparalleled softness to the touch, cashmere is one of the noblest fabrics in the world of fashion.
Ancient origins are in the Kashmir region shared between modern India, Pakistan and China, though, today, the cashmere we select comes from the high plains of Mongolia and China, distinguished by its particular fibre fineness, length and uniformity. Its fame comes from the incredibly soft and warm sensation it gives to the touch and its insulating properties, which have seduced princes and emperors alike, earning it names such as ‘the fabric of kings’ or ‘the golden fleece’.
Cashmere protects the body from the most intense cold. It is made from one of the two layers of furs of cashmere goats, the undercoat, also called the ‘duvet’. In spring, this undercoat becomes the raw material for a superlative fabric. -
Mohair
Mohair, is a textile fiber obtained from Angora goats. We select only the most prestigious farms in South Africa, where the mohair is bright, has a natural lustre and pure as in no other place on earth.
One of the defining qualities of mohair is its resilience, a quality that makes its fibres naturally elastic and resistant to folds. For this reason, it is suitable for the production of crease-resistant garments, combining elegance and performance. -

Silk
Silk, an exclusive process, pairing a precious raw material with sartorial know-how, leads to the production of superlative silk fabric.
Silk is a sustainable and natural fibre that gives life to an extraordinarily light, soft and elegant fabric. In ancient times, silk was transported along a trade route connecting East Asia, and China in particular, to the Near East and the Mediterranean. Due to the importance of silk, it has been considered one of the most precious yarns for its celebrated shine.
Eclectic, practical and versatile. It can be fresh in summer, and warm in winter. Silk comes from the cocoons of the Bombyx Mori silkworm, the beginning of a process that, thanks to expert hands, becomes one of the most sought-after fabrics in the world. -
Cotton
Cotton, a natural fiber derived from the cotton plant, is known for its softness, absorbency, breathability, and durability. The cotton plant’s natural fiber structure results in a soft and comfortable feel against the skin.
Cotton’s ability to absorb moisture makes it breathable and comfortable, especially for clothing. It allows air to circulate through the fabric, keeping you cool and comfortable, especially in warm weather.
Cotton is generally durable and can withstand repeated washings and wear and is typically easy to care for, with many fabrics machine-washable.
