Product Insights

Missoni's Openwork Zigzag Knit Polo, rooted in a 1967-originated pattern exhibited at the Whitney Museum, is artisanal-made in the Sumirago atelier using a unique Raschel-machine technique that creates permanent zigzags and sheer gaps. The 100% cotton with structural yarn-dyed colors resists fading, peeling, and cracking, while the openwork knit delivers adaptive stretch, fluid drape, and breathability for summer. Tradeoffs include delicate care (hand-wash, lay-flat), deliberate sheerness for layering, and a size-down fit (e.g., Small measures 96 cm chest). A rare 75% discount opportunity offsets the premium price, offering access to a technically unreplicated design that merges art and craftsmanship.

Verified claims

Heritage
Zigzag pattern originated in 1967 and remains exclusive to Missoni.
Art recognition
Missoni knits were first fashion at Whitney Museum; Anna Piaggi coined identiknit.
Artisanal production
Made in Missoni's Sumirago atelier with 70 years of expertise.
Material integrity
100% cotton with structural yarn-dyed colors that won't fade, peel, or crack.
Knit construction
Crochet-knit hybrid on Raschel machines gives permanent zigzags and sheer gaps.
Fit & Comfort
Openwork knit offers adaptive stretch, fluid drape, cotton softness, and breathability.
Care
Hand-wash cold and lay flat to dry; avoid machine washing or wringing to preserve the openwork detail and prevent stretching.
Fit comparison
Missoni's size chart sets Small at 96 cm chest and Medium at 100 cm, and the roomy cut means a typical US Medium may prefer the Small for a relaxed fit.
Fabric stretch
Openwork knit delivers adaptive stretch, natural recovery, and excellent drape.
Color longevity
Color is woven into yarn and will not fade, peel, or crack.
Sheerness
Openwork vertical lines create deliberate sheer gaps, so a contrasting undershirt or skin may be visible; denser colour-block panels are less sheer.
Weather suitability
Lightweight, breathable openwork cotton knit suitable for summer wear.
Openwork technique
Hybrid knit-crochet technique creates deeper voids than standard eyelets.
Breathability
Openwork knit delivers continuous airflow for summer comfort.
Design pedigree
The openwork zigzag is a technically unreplicated Missoni design exhibited as fine art at the Whitney Museum.
Atelier
Manufactured at Missoni's own Sumirago atelier since 1953.
Knit technique
Openwork zigzag uses a unique Raschel-machine technique that no other brand has replicated.
Discount opportunity
This polo was $399.95 at Simons (75% off $1,595), far deeper than Missoni's typical 30% markdowns.
Structural knit pattern
Pattern is structurally knit and unique to Missoni; resists fading, peeling, cracking.
Fit contrast
The openwork polo's relaxed fit is deliberately more generous than Missoni's slim-fit polo styles, which run tight even in larger sizes.
Retailer authenticity
Simons is an authorized Missoni stockist, so this polo is first-quality rather than a gray-market or off-price import.
