 Italian Virgin Wool

Our 100% virgin Italian wool is nothing short of a dream—part of its production involves being boiled, giving it a noticeably felted appearance. Our Merino wool, both the French Merino wool mix (20% Merino wool, 80% acrylic) and the 100% Italian extra fine Merino wool, are of fine fibers resulting in soft, lighter, and more flexible garments.

Care: Gentle care required—dry clean only. Do not bleach. Do not tumble dry. Dry flat when needed. Iron on low heat.

Stretch: None.

Italian Virgin Wool
 European Wool Blend

Our European wool blend is the thickest selection of our yarns. This yarn is a balance of 30% wool and 70% acrylic fibers - making it soft to the touch and more comfortable on the skin than traditional wool yarns.

Care: Dry clean only.

Stretch: Mid stretch.

Review Highlights

Absolutely LOVE this! The detailing is everything and was a fashionable, strong, elegant statement maker! I had a very important meeting and all were floored with my look. I also love that I’m a middle aged woman, and not only did I feel powerful, but sexy as well! You can’t imagine how much that means as I’m divorcing and it’s the first article of clothing I purchased for myself in over 20 years that I feel really reflects me as a woman 🙏🏽TY so much!

Very glad I tried this one!

The design of this is unusual. I had expected to wear it cross-body, as in the pictures, but it started out too snug to twist readily (small; I'm 36C) -- but I just put it on like a jacket (over a graphic black band tee) and it created a really interesting silhouette -- so: not what I expected, but a really nice addition. It shifts so that you can turn it down over the shoulders to create a shawl effect, or let it curl up like a standup collar, or in between -- it's cool that it allows options in how you wear it. It was just enough to add a sculptural layer to a simple outfit and a slight warmth over indoor-chill, without being too heavy. Tricky note: it did shift around a bit so that I was recentering the zipper on my back or shifting it upward from time to time, but that was no big deal. Part 2: in wearing all day, it stretched so that most likely I would be able to wear it crossbody as I had intended, as in the model picture, also. Overall, it's a cool, unique addition to wardrobe -- recommended!!

Feel very chic!

Im on the small side of medium and ordered a medium. When worn as pictured it’s very snug. Really beautiful and I get compliments every time I wear it, but happy to take it off at night. Go up a size if you don’t want a tight fit.

When I received the sweater or whatever you call it, it is absolutely beautiful when you display it there were no instructions on how to put it on and I believe I could try to work with it and try to make it work, but you know the way it is displayed I thought you can just unzip it from the back and put it on and it’s not that easy. I’ve been in the fashion world all my life I’m 76 years old and I feel like I got a handle on fashion I’ve been doing this since I was 16 in the fashion world and I think you guys do a great job, but this particular item is beautiful and when you look at it the picture but when you try to put it on and you don’t know how to put it on it’s different. The sty is gorgeous. How do you put it on? That was my question

Very Cute Bolero Wrap

The style of this bolero is so cute! I have an athletic build and love the way it accentuates my (lack of) curves. It is an interesting piece that I plan on wearing often. Great quality and fabric.
