Three generations of craftsmanship
Heritage in Every Print
We’ve partnered with a third-generation studio specializing in intricate screen printing in Como, Italy—the world’s silk printing capital. When our partner’s grandfather founded the company nearly 100 years ago, there were around 150 businesses in Como that worked in screen printing. With the introduction of commercial digital printing, only three remain today.
PROCESS
crafting excellence
Down to the finishes, we have emphasized the importance of human involvement. The edges of our scarves are hand-rolled and hand-sewn by local seamstresses; even the tags are individually sewn by hand on each scarf. In every step of the process, our focus remains on the preservation of the talent and craft associated with disciplines facing replacement by modern machinery and manufacturing.
