Loro Piana cashmere.” The phrase, in and of itself, can turn shoppers’ heads from across the room; few materials in the fashion universe are as coveted (or, honestly, as expensive) as the plush, featherlight fibers spun by this Italian uber-luxury purveyor.

Loro Piana has long been a discreet-chic wardrobe stopover for the very wealthy (and the equally as restrained). Its goods bare almost no logos or recognizable markings (save for the occasional use of Loro Piana’s scripted-font icon), and its color palette is muted. Think: quietly attractive albeit riotously upscale.
