Description
A rare treasure from Italy’s prestigious Biagioli Modesto mill, VANITY ZERMATT is where Swiss precision meets Italian elegance. This limited-edition luxury blend offers a breathtakingly fine composition of Cashmere, Merino, Viscose, and Polyamide, pun into a distinctive textured crêpe structure. The yarn features a tightly twisted, undulating construction that creates a subtle wavy, bumpy surface—without the open loops typical of bouclé. The result is an elegant, dimensional fabric with depth, movement, and a modern luxury feel.
Dry to the touch on the cone, but once washed, VANITY ZERMATT blooms with silky softness — transforming into a fluid, featherlight fabric with elegant drape and a gentle halo. Ideal for multi-strand artistry, lacework, and refined layering pieces.
