Avant Toi Laminated Needle-Punched Cashmere Sweater in Ghiaccio
Avant Toi Laminated Needle-Punched Cashmere Sweater in Ghiaccio
Crafted in Italy from pure lightweight cashmere, this oversized sweater is finished using the Potala fabrication. Needle-punched floral motifs emerge through a laminated, softly weathered surface, creating layered texture without compromising the fluid drape of the knit.
The Ghiaccio colourway combines icy grey, charcoal, black, and muted blush tones with a subtle laminated silver lustre. A wide boat neckline, relaxed body, and long sleeves create an effortless silhouette that pairs naturally with fluid skirts, wide-leg trousers, and tonal tailoring.

Q: What does the Ghiaccio colourway look like?
A: Ghiaccio combines icy grey, charcoal, and black with softened blush floral accents and a subtle metallic surface sheen.
Q: What is the needle-punched floral effect?
A: The floral imagery is integrated into the cashmere surface through needle punching, creating tactile, softly blurred motifs rather than a flat printed pattern.
Q: What does laminated cashmere feel like?
A: The knit remains lightweight and soft, while the surface treatment introduces subtle structure, texture, and a diffused lustre.
Q: Will the floral placement be identical on every sweater?
A: Small variations in motif placement, colour, and surface texture may occur as part of the artisanal finishing process.
Q: Is the weathered surface intentional?
A: Yes. The irregular shading, distressed character, and tonal variation are deliberate elements of the Potala fabrication.
Q: How should I care for this cashmere sweater?
A: Follow the specialist instructions on the care label, avoid friction against rough surfaces, and store the sweater folded rather than hanging.
