CRAFTING OUR ICONS:
DOUBLE FACE
This highly specialized technique dates back three decades at Lafayette 148, refined season after season into a defining part of our craft. By hand, fine, two-layered fabrics—including our signature wool-cashmere outerwear—become something else entirely: remarkably light yet structured, with a clean, seamless finish.
BUILDING THE
STRUCTURE
Each design begins in muslin, fitted and adjusted to perfect its shape and proportion, then realized in the finest cashmere and wool-cashmere for exceptional lightness and structure.
THE ART OF
DOUBLE FACE
A sharp knife is used to carefully split the two-layered fabric at the seams. The edges are then turned inward and hand-stitched for a clean, seamless finish.
IN THE DETAILS
Exacting craftsmanship extends to every detail, with finishing touches carefully completed by hand.
