“MADE IN ITALY”
…has always been a synonym for great craftsmanship and a long tradition in cashmere knitwear.
However, since then the EU has become involved in the process of labelling, the term has been somewhat watered down: This means that now just three manufacturing steps are enough to provide a cashmere piece with the “Made in …” label. For example – if an almost finished cardigan that was made elsewhere has its buttons sewn on in Italy and it is ironed and then packed, it can be sold with the “Made in Italy” label.
We don’t work like this. For us, it is important to work together with family-run craft businesses that have grown over decades and in which every employee feels responsible for perfect workmanship.
For example, we have been working with Raffaella in Emilia Romagna, who took over the knitting factory and know-how from her mother over 25 years ago. Our Triangolos are manufactured in her small studio. Many skilled work processes are necessary to produce our signature piece in cashmere and leather – real handicraft, far removed from omnipresent mass production!
