Italian luxury brand Loro Piana has released a women’s capsule collection constructed from Cash Denim. This is a 60 percent cotton and 40 percent cashmere fabric with an extremely soft hand that’s woven on traditional shuttle looms in Japan.

Experts weave the warp of the dyed denim with the weft of undyed cashmere fiber and create just 164 feet of the selvedge fabric in a single day. The two jeans and one jacket in the capsule are intentionally minimal and reflect the tradition and look of Japanese workwear. All of them are in a dark wash and are made in Italy. Madley pants are a high-waisted five-pocket with a loose fit while Lewel 22 pants are a high-waisted five-pocket with a slight flare. The Cyrius jacket is a chore coat with a relaxed fit, button front, three large front pockets, lightweight padding and a cashmere-jersey lining. Although it is not made from Cash Denim, there is also a matching navy-blue extra-large tote bag constructed from felted cashmere that is merchandised with the collection.The brand also offers other denim pieces made from 100 percent cotton Japanese denim made with sustainable processes.

LoroPiana has standalone stores in North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. The 98-year-old brand has been owned by LVMH since 2013.
