About our materials

Soft at the neck, warm without weight. The kind of knit you forget you are wearing until you step outside. Mercerised wool of 17–18 microns and cashmere of 15.2–15.8 microns with a 34–36 mm staple; woollen-spun, so the yarn keeps air.

Care Fold, do not hang. Air it between wears; wash rarely, by hand, cool.

— Yvora, on knit.

Wool-Cashmere High Neck · Wool-Cashmere Cardigan · Wool-Cashmere High Neck · Wool-Cashmere Henley

Cool in summer, warm in winter, and it falls in a line. Heavy enough not to cling. Momme is the weight of silk: 22 is heavy for a charmeuse, which is why it falls rather than floats. Woven in Hangzhou, the old centre of Chinese silk.

Care Hand wash cool or dry clean. Iron on the reverse, warm, while slightly damp.

Silk Blouse Concealed Placket · Silk Blouse Open Placket

Three fibres in one jersey: cotton for ease, Tencel for drape, silk for the touch. Cool against the skin. Tencel is lyocell, spun from wood pulp in a closed-loop process; it carries moisture away faster than cotton and keeps the jersey cool.

Care Machine wash 30, gentle. Dry flat.

— Yvora, on jersey.

Fluid Cotton-Tencel-Silk T-Shirt · Fluid Cotton-Tencel-Silk T-Shirt

Our one synthetic. It packs flat, arrives pressed and dries overnight in a hotel bathroom. The elastane gives a stretch that recovers; the surface does not hold a crease, which is the point.

Care Machine wash 30. Hang to dry; no iron needed.

— Yvora, on travel.
