Zaia

Airy and contemporary, the ZAIA tunic is crafted in 100% open-gauge 2-ply cashmere. Its ample cut, asymmetric hem and deliberately light knit create a fluid silhouette, animated by a subtle ribbed work on the sleeves.

A singular piece in which the volume and lightness of cashmere are fully expressed.

A silhouette full of movement

The ZAIA plays with volumes and lengths to offer a more contemporary interpretation of the cashmere tunic.

Its ample cut freely accompanies the silhouette, while its asymmetric hem creates a natural movement and adds a graphic dimension to the design.

The sleeves worked with a ribbed effect introduce a play of texture that contrasts with the lightness of the body of the tunic.

The round neck and simple finishing preserve the clean lines of the whole and allow volume to become the true design element.

How to wear it?

With fitted trousers or leggings, the ZAIA plays on the contrast of volumes and allows its asymmetric hem to express itself fully.

Paired with more fluid trousers, it allows for an ample and contemporary silhouette where the lightness of the knit naturally accompanies movement.

Its open-gauge 2-ply cashmere makes it a particularly pleasant piece to wear during the transitional seasons or layered when temperatures drop.

What is an open-gauge knit?

The open-gauge technique involves knitting the yarn with deliberately larger needles in order to achieve a looser, lighter and more open knit.

This technique modifies both the appearance and the drape of the knit. The knit gains in suppleness and transparency, while the cashmere reveals a particularly airy sensation.

On the ZAIA, the open-gauge technique perfectly complements the ample cut and asymmetric hem, lending the design its full fluidity.

This more open construction also requires attentive care in order to preserve the beauty and regularity of the knit.

Naturally beautiful colours

Among the colours offered, four correspond to the natural colours of the cashmere goat: Natural Ecru, Natural Beige, Natural Stone and Natural Brown.

For these shades, the cashmere fibres undergo no dyeing during the manufacturing process. Their delicately mottled appearance and subtle variations come directly from the natural colours of the fibre.

These tones thus allow one to discover cashmere at its closest to its original shades, with all the subtlety inherent to the fibre.

The craftsmanship

The open-gauge 2-ply cashmere creates a particularly light and supple knit, perfectly suited to the generous volume of the ZAIA.

The contrast between the airy body, the asymmetric hem and the ribbed work on the sleeves gives the design its personality, while the simple finishing preserves the full fluidity of the silhouette.

With its ample volume, open-gauge knit and asymmetric play, the ZAIA offers a free and contemporary interpretation of the cashmere tunic.
