Cashmere summer sweater

This is a special summer. After months of lockdown , months of reckoning of our global fragility and vulnerability, months of re-appreciating the simple things, like a walk outside and some fresh air – we are preparing for a summer maybe different from what our generation is used to.

We spoke with friends, customers and many of us are vacationing locally, rediscovering the nature oases close to them, from exploring forests, national parks, mountain hikes, rocky beaches, lakes, metropolitan parks, a house in the countryside – this summer we have a date with nature. This summer we dress for a dialogue with the nature around us. To meet her beauty, generosity, power and vulnerability with appreciation and elegance. We will not wait indoors for the days and hours perfect for sun bathing, but will enjoy nature’s offerings everywhere we can.

We wear natural yarns. Yarns that don’t release microplastics in the oceans during washing, yarns that are biodegradable, yarns that let our skin breathe and do not interfere with our inner balance.

We are introducing in this collection our lace knit. Lace is considered the pinnacle of knitting, because of its complexity, and because is very difficult to obtain something like this in woven fabrics, for example. Indeed, is complex and time consuming, but so beautiful 🙂

We have a few different types of lace knit, be sure to spot them all and find your favourite/favourites. We used them for our dresses, the knee length knitted trousers, for a tank top, and the summer sweater. And how can we celebrate nature without doing our best to share with you, dear supporters and customers, some remarkable yarns:

– undyed, natural color cashmere spun together with undyed, natural color babycamel ;
– Carriagi cashmere manually dyed in Italy with natural plants following traditional techniques ;

100% Carriagi cashmere, manually dyed in Italy with natural plants following traditional techniques.

A delicate gentle hand wash with special wool detergent and flat drying is the best care for any merino clothes. For more info visit “Care Section“.

For our photoshoots we have chosen to pair this sweater mostly with a pair of AmiAmalia trousers, a pair of jeans and some AmiAmalia jewellery, AmiAmalia rainbow skirts, evening skirts, or simply over a bathing suit.

It is also a essential piece for bringing a colour statement to an office suit. It is thin, and the extrafine merino is thermoregulating, making this piece wearable throughout the year, on its own during the warmer seasons or as a perfect first layer during the colder seasons.
