The Cloth

340 gsm of 100% virgin wool from Vitale Barberis Canonico. A few years before the Great Fire of London, the Barberis Canonico family were setting up shop and mastering the process of dying wool. Back in the day this was not a widely known skill and the good chaps at VBC have been honing that expertise ever since. The colours permeating this purple wool dressing gown are myriad. The overall tone is a reddish purplish plummish colour, but closer inspection reveals so much more. Naturally colour is not the only reason that VBC has stuck around so long; this woollen flannel is also stunningly soft and lovely to be wrapped up in.
