MADE IN ITALY:
L148 OUTDOOR
GO BEHIND THE CRAFT OF L148 OUTDOOR—LAFAYETTE 148’S NEW COLLECTION OF LUXURY OUTERWEAR CELEBRATING THE FINEST ITALIAN CRAFTSMANSHIP.
A collaboration between Creative Director Emily Smith and one of Tuscany’s storied textile houses, the collection is an expression of considered quality. By combining multi-generational expertise, innovative techniques and meticulous craft, traditional outerwear is transformed into modern pieces imbued with style and purpose.
A celebration of modern craft—both inside and out—a purposefully unlined interior is a defining element of the L148 Outdoor collection.
Each garment is hand-crafted with thermo-sealed taped seams that utilize an innovative heat-bonding technology. The result: expertly engineered jackets and outerwear that are luxuriously lightweight and water resistant.
Traditional silhouettes—from tailored trench coats to oversized anoraks—are reimagined with modern proportions and a softer, feminine sensibility. Hand-applied nappa trims and closures are the final elevated finishing details.
