Product Insights
The Roberto Collina Embossed Knit Henley Sweater, exclusive to Simons' Le 31 line, blends heritage from a family factory since 1953 and a Pitti Uomo debut with a breathable, wrinkle-resistant cotton-linen knit that is 30% stronger than cotton, hypoallergenic, and cool to wear. Produced entirely at the Crevalcore atelier, which hosts an artisan training program, the sweater's subtle embossed texture and refined drape come at the cost of requiring sizing up and hand washing. The main tradeoff is its $375 price versus the Le 31 line's $99.95, while the linen content reduces water usage by 60% for a lower environmental footprint.
