A kimono cut lets the cashmere run unbroken from collar to sleeve, with no shoulder seam to interrupt its line. Pure Top Mongolia cashmere, woven double-face — only the fine inner duvet of the Alashan goat — and black on both sides. The surface is smooth and closed, and light glides across it, lending the black a soft sheen that moves with the coat.

Pure Top Mongolia cashmere, woven double-face, camel on both sides. The surface is zibeline-finished — brushed with natural teasel heads until a very fine, airy pile rises — and in the hand it has the plush softness of fur. Light catches in that pile, so the camel shifts in tone as it falls

Hay prendas que se compran y prendas que se heredan.
