The Amiata Pullover is the newest addition to a collection that honors the majestic landscapes surrounding iconic volcanoes, paired harmoniously with the Etna Tee, Vesuvius Tee and Sabatini Cardigan.
Amiata is made top-down with a drop-shoulder construction and has perfectly fitted shoulders to eliminate excess fabric around the underarms. The pullover features a textured and airy stitch that is light yet warm, a wide over-sized fit, tapered sleeves and a split high-low hem; all finished with an elegant ribbing. What sets Amiata apart is its commitment to size inclusivity ensuring that the shoulder drops gracefully in the same spot for all makers, irrespective of their size. The meticulous details woven into this pullover promise a timeless piece that you’ll find yourself reaching for time and time again.
