100% milk fiber
“Romantic and eco-sustainable, but at the same time innovative and high design”
The stole was born from the recovery of lanital, an ancient autarkic fiber invented in 1935 by Brescian engineer Antonio Ferretti
The recovery of such fiber imagined during the pandemic and developed later wants to stir a reflection with respect to what was the productive and economic self-sufficiency of the time, because not having enough wool and an Italian substitute was created precisely Lanital.
Milk fiber is created from casein, whose amino acids it retains intact, making it a skin moisturizing, hypoallergenic and antibacterial fiber.
About two liters of expired or unsold milk were used to create the stole.
It feels extremely soft and comfortable to the touch.
Each individual scarf is first wefted and then printed one by one.
