Zegna fabric mixed

Mixed fabrics

Cashco
Cashco is a modern, lightweight velvet, a new mixture of cotton and cashmere. Two fibers belonging to different seasons and different climates are combined by Lanificio Ermenegildo Zegna to produce a sophisticated yet informal looking fabric. An original idea that has engendered its own “free and easy” style. Cashco is versatile and has a soft, silky handle, which would be unusual a traditional velvet. Another distinctive feature of this fabric is the extremely rich color palette. All characteristics that make this a fabric for all seasons.

Silk Skin
Chinese silk, a very fine and lustrous fiber, and soft Egyptian cotton combine to produce Silk Skin, a full and elastic fabric ideal for plain velvet, with original characteristics, and a sophisticated ribbed corduroy. Finishing and dyeing give the fabric a handle and appearance perfect for particularly sophisticated clothing but also for pleasantly informal leisure wear.

Shetlair
Lanificio Ermenegildo Zegna has successfully revived a taste for Shetland by creating a contemporary version of it. Shetlair is a new mixture of lustrous South African mohair, precious Chinese cashmere and fine Australian merino wool.

Wool/Silk
Ermenegildo Zegna enjoys both technological and stylistic innovation. The union of these two tendencies has created a wool/silk combination having the strength of wool and the luster of silk.
