We’re still on a high from New York Fashion Week, but we can’t help but transport ourselves across the pond to Italy—where time moves more slowly but the fashion certainly still wows! Lucky for you, we’re introducing you to the 50 Made in Italy brands ready to show at COTERIE’s trade show, scheduled to return to in-person format in NYC from September 19-21. Next up on our list: cashmere and knitwear that nod to Italian expertise with every stitch! Ciao ciao!
Kash
Forget pizza and pasta, we’re splurging our euros on Kash cashmere, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. With centuries-old craftsmanship and modern innovation at its core, Kash promises a made-to-last guarantee. Sweater vests, color-blocked cardigans, button-down knits, and turtlenecks—mamma mia!

Tricot Chic
Since being founded in Paderno d’Adda in 1972, luxe knits have always been Tricot Chic’s bread and butter. Over the years, the brand has expanded its offering, though its knitwear roots are where it has always shone its brightest. And it still does—especially with the founding family and craftsmanship in the driver’s seat.
