General news: Per Luigi Loro Piana on a visit

Today we got a visit from the pleasant Pier Luigi Loro Piana, the owner of Loro Piana. Pier Luigi is the sixth generation who runs the family company. Loro Piana is the world’s largest supplier of cashmere and delivers the finest fabrics to worlds largest fashion houses.

Pier Luigi is in Stockholm to talk about the Wave, which I’ve written about earlier. If you missed it, the Wave is a true innovation. It’s a fabric made by a mix between thin cashmere and silk. Together with a new twinning technique, it makes a fabric just as light as smooth. For example you can fold it several times and put in a bag, and take it out without a crease.

 The Wave jacket can be found in Tiger of Sweden stores now.
