Liu Striped Pant in Cashmere

  • 100% Cashmere
  • Dying/ Weaving/ Finishing Italy

Fabric

Cashmere is one of the most luxurious wools, with desirable drape, softness and wrinkle resistance. It is up to three times more insulating than regular wool, with lofty fibers that can be tightly knit into warm and lightweight fabric. Like all wool, it wicks moisture and allows skin to breathe. Cashmere is considered hypoallergenic, since it doesn’t have lanolin. While more delicate than other wool, cashmere garments will not lose their shape if properly cared for. This is due to the fiber’s natural stretch that allows garment to move with you and recover.

Mill

This luxury yarn manufacturer was founded in 1928. Its yarn collections are all produced internally at two factories, where they own and oversee the whole production cycle. They comply with the following standards: Textile and Health Association - Member Masters of Linen and European Flax (LINIFICO) - Certified European Federation of Flax and Hemp (CELC) - Member Sustainable Fiber Alliance (SFA) for cashmere

Factory

This garment was produced at a 3rd generation family-owned factory. Founded in 1944, it is one of the oldest knitwear factories in central Italy. They follow Kering Group’s supplier code of conduct, which extends to their subcontractors. With much of fashion industry production contracted outside of factories, especially for intricate handwork or finishing, contractor working conditions must be considered in addition to conditions within the four-walled factory. Working from home is often preferred by these contractor employees, as many need to stay home with their children and continue to gain income. In regard to ecological impact, this factory purifies all of its wastewater. They return the water to the local river, where it is often used for agricultural irrigation.
