This high-quality shiny cotton is GOTS-certified: this standard recognizes textile products made with natural fibers grown using organic agriculture. It’s woven in Milan by Iafil, a company that has treated cotton since 1890. Every step is done in accordance with the Better Cotton Initiative, the world’s largest cotton sustainability scheme, supporting the environment and indigenous communities. 

Iafil selects fibers grown in fields free from chemical pesticides and fertilizers and creates the thread using cutting-edge technology that stabilizes the product, making it resistant to pilling and distortion. During the dyeing process, they use certified organic pigments that bring out the natural features of the thread while staying kind to the world.

We’ve always put our trust in the hands of the best local craftsmen. Afterall, Italy itself is like a huge open-air workshop. Made in Bagnacavallo, in the Ravenna province, this sweater was created in a workshop owned by Gilberto. His knitwear company has been spinning top quality yarns since 1995, combining research and passion to produce excellence. To date they have over three thousand designs, created through continual experimentation with new yarns. For durable pieces made in a variety of textures and thicknesses.
