THAT OLD MAGIC

The wholegarment knitting process provides excellent comfort. Cashmere silk can be worn in all seasons. The collection includes a sweater, a sweater dress, and tenugui.
Shetland sheep, native to the Shetland Islands of Scotland, are nurtured in a harsh environment, resulting in a wool with a rustic look, soft touch, and great warmth. Shetland wool is slowly spun on an 18th century English-style spinning machine developed in the early Industrial Revolution, and then woven into a herringbone pattern on shuttle looms powered by hand weaving principles.
The collection includes a dolman sleeve coat.
