The ITALIA Collection draws its inspiration from the colours, light and luxurious surfaces found in Italian Renaissance art.
During my travels in Italy, I was deeply moved by the richness of Siena red, the depth of Madonna blue, and the soft luminosity of golden ochre — colours born from natural pigments, and echoed in the silk and velvet textiles that filled historic palaces and churches.

To translate these impressions into knitwear, I searched for a yarn of comparable beauty and quality.
I found it in 100% GOTS-certified mercerised cotton — a fibre with the soft sheen of silk, the breathability of cotton and the comfort of a year-round knit.
Its smooth surface and natural lustre make it the ideal material for a refined, feminine silhouette.

The design of the sleeveless tops is intentionally clean and thoughtful.
The rib-knit structure creates a subtle relief that captures the light, while the placement of the lines softly follows the natural feminine form.
A wide square neckline — both Renaissance in spirit and modern in expression — brings clarity and elegance to the minimalist shape.

Offered in three expressive shades:
Florentina — teal blue inspired by Renaissance Madonna blues
Siena — warm rust-red drawn from historic Siena pigments
Venetiana — golden ochre with a gentle, light-catching glow

The pieces pair effortlessly with trousers, skirts, denim or layered under jackets and cardigans, making them versatile staples across seasons.
Timeless in colour, refined in construction and durable by nature, the ITALIA pieces are designed to be worn and enjoyed for years.
