The pureness of raw materials

Absolute-quality and value spuns which come from Italian producers in the forefront of manufacturing for years and who use exclusive and checked raw materials: cashmere, silk, merino wool, camel, alpaca.

Our productions’ quality comes from a diligent selection of the goods the nature gives us and it’s emphasized by our experience and by our manufacturing techniques, which complement each other symbioticly to maintain the natural sense of our items.

Characteristics of the yarns in use

Cashmere is the most noble fibre: its name recalls secluded and impassable moors, far and past places. Its history has been losing in the mists of time and cashmere has always been associated with the refinement and good taste of the people who wore it.
Since the shawls worn by noble Roman women and the “boteh” of the ladies at the Eugenia Bonaparte court, the cashmere products have been the synonymous of exclusiveness and style. But we mustn’t forget where it comes from. And we mustn’t forget that we’re talking about a natural product: cashmere is the under fleece called “duvet”, picked by a manual combing of the Hircus goats at the end of the Spring . This downy fibre helps the animals to keep uniform their own corporeal temperature, allowing them to stand the very harsh winter temperatures. Its production places are the Asian mountainous areas and uplands: China, Afghanistan, Tibet, where the winter temperatures can almost reach the -40°.

Each goat supplies on average 300 grams of very precious cashmere in a year, whose characteristic is to be warm and very soft by the touch, but at the same time light and proof and able to leave a wide skin sweating however keeping comfortable to wear. All of this makes cashmere the fibre with single and extraordinary characteristics.

Camel wool belongs to very high precious fibres, both for its refinement and softness characteristics and for its excellent thermoregulatory properties. It comes from the sprig combing of the under fleece of the young camels. The most precious coat is the one of the camel which lives in Asia between Mongolia and the Persian Gulf. The pickers following the nomadic caravans, prevalently in the Mongolian regions, are very important for the fibre supplying (each young head supplies seven hectograms of material in a year). For years the habitat has helped the camel to become a strong and resistant animal and to fortify its fleece. The products created using the yarns coming from this animal take the advantage of the fibres properties: so they utilize their thermal-insulation characteristics, which can incorporate a big quantity of heated air to prevent the thermal exchange with the outside. The camel wool items are an optimum solution to resist winter’s temperatures: enhancing the characteristics of the hygroscopicity higher than the sheep ones, it ensures a dry and so pleasant microclimate for the items. Camel wool is pale red and soft in its natural tones and its strength and value are comparable to the wools of South America cameloids, as alpaca, llama and guanaco.
