What you feel when you slip them on
Two ways to wear shearling
In the solid-colour version the shearling speaks for itself: the surface catches the light and has a soft depth that runs right to the side edges.
In the patchwork version the back is made from shearling offcuts that would otherwise go unused. The pieces are cut by hand, with curved outlines, and arranged in a precise, symmetrical pattern, identical for the right hand and the left. Our craftsmen and craftswomen join and stitch them from the wrong side, so that on the outside the curves meet flush, with no overlap. Only at the end does the mitten take its oval shape. Raffaella Restelli puts it plainly: it is complicated work, and it demands extreme precision from those who cut and those who sew.
From the wool coat to the puffer jacket
Shearling softens the stiff line of a wool coat and pairs easily with parkas and oversized puffer jackets. In solid colour, the shearling mittens fit quietly into a winter wardrobe; in patchwork they add a touch of colour. Both stay true to the same idea: keeping warm the hands that need it most.
You can find them in our online shop and at our temporary shop in Corso Magenta 32, Milan.
