Heart of cashmereThe ancient Umbrian knitwear tradition firstcame to Capri, to Via Camerelle, with CarloDella Ciana’s creations which brought tothe azure isle part of the company hefounded in 1978. Umbria has a realvocation for knitwear which adaptsperfectly to the Capri style and charm.Looking in the shop window, the quality ofthe materials and originality of thecreations immediately catch the eye; themen’s and women’s collections aredesigned for people who love wearingelegant garments with fine detail, for thosewho don’t want an ostentatious display ofluxury but who still prize excellence. DellaCiana’s clothes are sober but elegant,designed with a contemporary cut butwithout betraying the concept of theclassical. The star of the collections iscashmere, that fine yarn that has been atthe “heart” of the company since the1980s, and whose traditional nature iscombined with a precise, careful study ofthe technology of the most modernmanufacturing techniques. The result is aproduct of the highest quality both in theworkmanship and in the choice of rawmaterials; a quality which Carlo Della Cianapersonally guarantees.131
