The ancient crochet technique, normally associated with classic knitting yarns, is reworked with raffia through an elegant nature-inspired embroidery in the new OPERA Dazzling top. The technique, entirely carried out by hand by expert craftsmen, reproduces the leaves of the ginkgo tree, a symbol of simple and distinctive natural beauty. The top combines the rustic and summery touch of raffia with the sparkling, three-dimensional detail of sequins, striking a perfect balance, in true Brunello Cucinelli style. Lastly, rib knit details complement the style. It takes about 18 hours to complete the processing of the garment. MATERIALS This piece is entirely made by hand with crocheting. The sweater’s crochet stitches are recognizable on the surface: those that create the net-like effect, and the ones that form the dense, textured, three-dimensional argyle design. DETAILS Crew-neck in rib knit Off-the-shoulder style Special workmanship 100% NYLON
