    Bianchetto

    The Bianchetto handmade technique is part of the DNA of the house. Since its creation, the paint is made to cover objects and clothes in the same way as walls are painted: the unique effect indicates the passage of time and recalls purity.
    Garments with this effect should be washed inside out. However, shoes and bags should not be washed, as this could damage the product's print.
    Reinforcing the will to show the passage of time, the hand-made paint can crackle with use.

    Eco-cashemire

    Eco-cashmere means that at least 50% of the fiber used for the garment is recycled.
