With the Wimbledon still fresh on our minds and the summer in full swing, we thought it would be a good time to talk about another one of our favourite spring summer pieces, the cashmere silk tennis polo in dark brown. Exquisite Material Our cashmere silk tennis polo is inspired by vintage pre-1950s tennis tops, with their signature longer short sleeves and larger spread collars. They would have been knitted too, just like ours is, except ours is crafted using the world’s finest, luxurious cashmere silk yarn from Italian fine yarn experts Cariaggi Lanificio, giving the piece an unimaginably soft, “melt in your hand” texture, and a light, airy and relaxed feel when worn. With the mix of silk within...
Our merino sport shirt comes in a versatile, muted and dark, olive colour. Given its dark shade, it goes seamlessly with other dark items in a different colour, or with other items in a light colour. Made in Scotland using a luxuriously soft merino yarn Cashwool from Zegna Baruffa, the world’s most premium merino wool, it is a shirt that will quickly become a spring/summer staple. Olive is a great colour to have in your wardrobe. That’s because if you are anything like us, we tend to have quite a lot of other items of clothing (trousers and jackets) in navy and grey. Therefore, to have a top in olive makes it easy to combine with your other items in...
History of the Riviera Style The “Riviera Style” refers to a style that evolved over the course of a few decades by affluent holidaymakers from around the world, who would travel to the French and Italian Riviera to spend their summers starting from the turn of the century. The items of clothing are a mix of influences, due to the mix of people from different backgrounds that ended up congregating on the riviera, and included clothing from sportswear, clothing for sailing, civilian wear, even military wear. Here is our take on the breton stripe: It was then further glamourised by the Hollywood elite in the 50s and 60s - think Alain Delon in Purple Noon or Cary Grant in How...
The cashmere silk tennis polo is a great choice for the summer time, especially when the weather is still fluctuating between sunshine one moment and wind and rain the next. The reason is that unlike ordinary polos that are usually made using cotton, cashmere silk is more temperature regulating and moisture-wicking - this means that it’ll keep you warm if you get hit with a sudden spell of wind and rain, but you also wouldn’t overheat when the sun comes back out again. Our cashmere silk tennis polo is made in Scotland using the world’s finest cashmere silk yarn from Italian heritage mill Cariaggi. The softness of the cashmere, laced with the lightness of silk, creates a hand feel that...
The merino sport shirt is a great choice for the spring/summer time, especially when the weather is still fluctuating between sunshine one moment and wind and rain the next. The reason is that unlike ordinary t-shirts and polos that are usually made using cotton, merino is temperature regulating - so that it’ll keep you warm when the wind and rain hit suddenly but you also wouldn’t overheat when the sun comes back out again. In addition, merino is moisture-wicking, meaning that it will dissipate sweat and odours more easily, preventing that clingy, clammy feeling you sometimes get with cotton t-shirts when they get wet or when you sweat. It’s also designed with a slightly longer short sleeve for a more...
