PRODUCTION

The tradition of boiled wool is still alive thanks to De Antoni Carnia company active from the ’90. The products are made in Comeglians a little mountain’s village of Carnia, a small area in the north of Friuli Venezia Giulia (Nord-Est region of Italy).
Men’s, women’s and children’s jackets and waistcoats, capes, slippers and small tapestries etc.: every De Antoni model is made by craftsmen, from the original idea to the finishing touches. Their passion for wool and for the beautiful shades, obtained by the knowledgeable integrating of colours and in the search for softness and absolute quality of garments in boiled wool.

In the first step the threads are chosen depending on their naturalness and the intrinsic characteristics of the wool. This is an important phase as it decides the softness and the resistance of the garment. Then the threads are chosen to donate original colour mix before the following step, when the pieces of wool are ready to be boiled. This is probably the most delicate phase of production.
The wool cloth is then dried in the mountain sun and carefully pressed by hand, acquiring the excellent characteristics of both being water resistant and very warm.
Once the material is ready it needs to be cut. Everything is strictly sewing by hand.
