CORTIGIANI COTTON/SILK SWEATER

Sea Island Cotton and silk cardigan - Cortigiani - $845

Sea Island Cotton is a unique breed of cotton plant (Gossypium Barbadense), named for the "Sea Islands" off Georgia and South Carolina where it is most hardy in the United States.  Its incredible softness comes from its extra-long fibers, which when spun into yarns are as soft as silk and have a dull sheen.

Cortigiani mixes these precious fibers with silk for their incredible summer cardigans, which are dense but breathable - an elegant alternative to a casual jacket or sport coat.
