The Pin1876 cashmere stole that brings happiness with just one piece

Not flashy, but indispensable for autumn and winter thanks to its comfort and ease of use—the Pin1876 stole.

This stole is crafted by Botto Giuseppe, a company that can rightly be called the pinnacle of Italy's textile world. Pursuing a soft touch, it is knitted from finely spun yarn into a wonderfully comfortable piece. Usable from autumn through winter and into spring, this stole brings a sense of happiness with just one piece, and many devoted fans quietly add a new color to their collection every year—a hidden gem of a product.

Why the Pin1876 stole is so beloved

Material (Fabrics)

The material is raw hair from Himalayan goats of the very finest quality found in Mongolia, itself among the world's premier sources of cashmere. On the Mongolian plateau, where summer temperatures reach up to about 26 degrees Celsius and winter temperatures range from minus 3 to minus 40 degrees, Himalayan goats grow strong outer hair on the surface of their bodies to protect themselves from the harsh cold, with fine, soft down beneath it to survive the winter. When spring arrives, the goats shed their coats, and it is at this time that the hair is carefully gathered without harming the animals. This rare raw hair, sometimes called "the jewel of fibers," is washed using the high-quality water at the foot of the Alps, then carefully and patiently spun over time into a smooth, comfortable material.

Comfort in everyday use

Many people feel that cashmere requires delicate handling, but because the Pin1876 stole is knitted, it can be used casually—even rolled up and tossed into a bag, it won't wrinkle, making it easy to incorporate into daily life. It is so lightweight that you'll forget you're even wearing it, making it a warm and reassuring choice even for those who avoid scarves due to shoulder stiffness in the cold season. Thanks to the yarn's preserved natural cashmere cuticle, it also resists picking up odors such as sweat, so it doesn't require frequent care—giving you peace of mind even with regular use throughout the season. (For care, we recommend dry cleaning to preserve the texture of the cashmere.)

The seemingly raw-cut edges of the stole are actually a deliberate design choice—wrapped once around the neck, they create a natural, effortlessly stylish impression. As befits an Italian factory drawing attention from the fashion industry, the fabric barely frays, and thanks to its special knitting technique, it resists forming pulled threads even if accidentally snagged—a testament to the factory's technical skill.

Knitted from several types of mottled (mouliné) yarn, the stole has a depth and warmth of color that feels far richer than a simple solid shade. Thanks to the quality of yarn-dyeing, it also shows little fading or discoloration even with continued use—a benefit you'll come to appreciate over time.

Its texture and the quality of its raw materials and craftsmanship are the reasons it is favored by so many high-end fashion houses. Even wrapped on casually and without much thought, a stole from Botto Giuseppe elevates the quality of an entire outfit with its refined character, giving it a stylish finishing touch.

Pin 1876 (History)

Pin1876 is the original brand of a factory founded in 1876 in Biella, Italy—one of the world's three great textile-producing regions—by Giuseppe Botto Poala, nicknamed "Pin." This 150-year-old establishment continues to carry out every stage of production in-house, from purchasing raw hair with respect for nature's gifts, to spinning, dyeing, and finishing the final product.

The single red thread woven into the brand's logo conveys the depth of its dedication—a relentless pursuit of the possibilities within a single fine thread. The company developed its own circular knitting machines and unparalleled spinning techniques, and its advanced knitting skill is said to be exceedingly rare, even by Japanese and global standards. Furthermore, taking advantage of the region's soft water—rare in Europe—the yarn-dyed stoles achieve an exceptionally soft, fluffy finish. Born from nature's blessings and the skill of this historic factory, these stoles reveal their quality the moment you touch them.

As a world-leading manufacturer, the company is naturally also committed to sustainable manufacturing. Fabric dyeing and washing require large amounts of water, but Botto Giuseppe not only uses water appropriately but also maintains wastewater purification facilities. Moreover, through hydroelectric power and solar panels, the factory generates enough electricity to be self-sufficient in powering its operations, and it even releases surplus energy back into the power grid.

Made with the concept of "lightness and delicacy like air," this stole is something you'll want to cherish and use for a long time—a piece that lets you feel the world's finest craftsmanship in your everyday life.
