There is something mystical and magical about a Cape. Rooted in alpine tradition, its form oozes nostalgia. Our cape keeps all the traditional forms, whilst adding a few features to give it that edge with its stand up collar and button function for cooler days, as well as Alcantara finishings on the back of the collar. 

Made from Austrian Loden in a Chestnut brown, the colour allows for it to easily transcend from the countryside or mountains to a city environment paired with jeans and one of our low cut turtle neck cashmere sweaters. The traditional properties of Loden allows for the Cape to be naturally water resistant. 

As a finishing touch, we use horn buttons that are crafted in Bergamot from a century old factory using the same hand finished techniques for generations. The buttons are polished in small barrels, hand churned against miniature cork pellets with wax and olive oil. In the winter, to contain the humidity in the barrels, Polenta residue is added from the neighbouring Polenta factory. This is the heritage and craftsmanship that Alva preserves. 

For ladies, this piece is wonderful for the day, and can also be elegantly worn with a skirt or dress in the evenings.
