Biella in Piedmont has been considered the heart of Italian wool weaving for centuries – it is here that the fabrics are created from which the great fashion houses tailor their collections. This fine cashmere in deep black visibly bears this heritage: on the woven selvedge and in every centimeter of its surface, which shows a calm, refined sheen when in motion.

Material & Quality

Woven from 100% pure cashmere, the fabric is fine yet shape-retaining, with a weight of approx. 300 g/lm. It drapes softly, feels pleasant against the skin and provides warmth without feeling heavy. The generous width of 159 cm also allows for long cut pieces and coats without seam allowances.

What you can sew with it

• Blazers & Suits: a black cashmere blazer is the epitome of timeless elegance.
• Dresses & Skirts: a slim-cut sheath dress or pencil skirt for evening and office wear.
• Trousers: wide Marlene trousers with a beautiful drape.
• Lightweight Coats: an unstructured transitional coat, preferably lined with silk.

Sewing Tip: Use a size 80 universal needle and iron the seams with a pressing cloth and steam – without direct pressure, to preserve the sheen. For blazers, we recommend a lightweight interfacing. When cutting, lay all pieces in the same direction, as the sheen can vary slightly depending on the grain direction.

Care Tip: We recommend professional dry cleaning. In between, brushing and airing are usually sufficient.
