Loro Piana’s first-ever “CashDenim” line is an ode to the innovation of blending denim and cashmere. Experts in each material—Loro Piana’s artisans, located in Piedmont, Italy, and the denim experts located in Japan’s Bingo region—joined to collaborate on an irresistible, hand-crafted fabric for women, created by 60 percent denim and 40 percent undyed cashmere. Sturdy yet thin, ultra-soft, and warm, CashDenim was made into a series of jackets and trousers. This is a gift for a woman who already has what she needs.
