Catalog summary
Emotion: BITING ELEGANCE. In the traditional orange and green colors, the Casentino cloth is the result of an ancient process born in medieval times (1272). The process involves thirteen stages of which the fulling allows the felting of the wool, while the raising scratches; on the surface pull out the hair and allow the classic curl to be made. Waterproof and with perfect thermal insulation, numerous illustrious personalities have worn it, including: the masters Giuseppe Verdi and Giacomo Puccini, Gabriele D'Annunzio, Carla Fracci ... but also Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Retail price € 180
