A collaboration that reflects a deep love for Made in Italy – crafted with care and precision. Fabrizio, co-founder of Blue of a Kind, shares his story and the origins of his upcycling brand, from denim to knitwear. “What we believe is that it makes sense to add something more, to add real value.”

To wash by hand: fill up a basin with lukewarm water with a few drops of mild or delicate laundry detergent. Turn the garment inside out and immerse it, allowing it to absorb all the water to refresh the fibers. Don’t leave it to soak for longer than 5 minutes or the detergent could cause damage. Rinse delicately, without wringing it out. 

To wash in the washing machine, always turn it inside out or put it inside a delicates bag. Choose a short delicate cold wash cycle that doesn’t exceed 30°C. If possible, turn off the spin cycle (or set it to maximum 400 RPM). 

Once the wash is finished, lay the garment on a towel and slowly roll them up together to eliminate excess water. To finish the drying process, lay it out somewhere flat and in the shade.

As for pilling? The dreaded pills that form on the surface of a garment are actually the material's ordinary reaction to friction against itself or other surfaces. It's naturally expressed by cashmere and high quality wool, so when you wear it, make sure to use an anti-pilling comb and always take care of the fibers when washing. That way they'll last you longer.
