The art of knitwear.
Rooted in the perfect balance between craftsmanship and innovation, our vision stems from the synergy between the human touch and cutting-edge technology. It is the authentic value of Made in Italy that transforms cashmere, fine wools and silks into garments of extraordinary excellence.
Craftsmanship and innovation.
The art of knitwear reaches its highest expression in the encounter between tradition and innovation, through a highly advanced process that involves around 24 stages for each garment, over half of which are handmade. In the Fidenza production unit, the noblest and most natural fibres - cashmere, silk, extra-fine merinos and the finest cottons - are transformed into SVEVO garments and accessories. Each creation guarantees sublime quality and an attention to detail that speaks of passion and perfection.
Yarns.
Our creation process begins with optimising the quality of the yarns, which undergo advanced mechanical treatment. The yarns are passed through a machine equipped with specific discs designed to release a calibrated amount of wax. This passage guarantees the yarn the characteristics of smoothness, softness and strength required for the subsequent stages.
The natural yarn is then sifted and subjected to a refining process to eliminate all impurities and achieve maximum lightness and uniformity. Once this stage is completed, the balls are stored in a humidity-controlled storage cabinet, where they remain for about three days. During this time, the natural fibre absorbs the necessary moisture, improving its elasticity, ductility and structural stability.
Our looms.
Our looms represent the height of technological and craftsmanship excellence, operating under the constant supervision of the expert hands of our craftsmen. The weaving and finishing of each garment takes place on English Bentley looms, unique models - Cotton 33, 36 and 42 Gauges - dating back to the 1950s.
Originally designed for sock production, these extraordinary machines have been completely reprogrammed to suit knitwear production. Thanks to the integration of computer software and advanced technology, Bentley looms combine tradition and innovation, guaranteeing an unparalleled quality of workmanship.
Control and assembly.
The woven parts are carefully positioned on a backlit table, where a calibrated light allows the perfection of the stitches to be minutely examined. This inspection allows any distortions or irregularities in the weave to be identified and corrected manually, ensuring an impeccable standard of quality. Once the individual sections have been completed, the garment is assembled, an extremely precise and meticulous process performed entirely by hand. This takes place on corolla looms equipped with different sized needles, selected according to the thickness and weave of the fabric.
The tailors then intervene, responsible for making the most complex patterns, which require the combination of different fabrics. This step includes stitching performed strictly by hand, reflecting an unparalleled attention to detail.
Weaving.
The threads are woven on special 8-head looms, each equipped with a comb with 1 needle per millimetre, or in the limited edition models, on 6-head looms with combs that accommodate 1 needle every 0.65 mm, to ensure superior density and precision.
Each part of the knit is mounted manually on each comb, preparing the fabric for the next stage of processing on the machines. When the garment is shaped, the hems of the collars are defined through extremely precise cuts, made manually with specialised scissors, to achieve a perfect, flawless finish.
The finished product.
The garment then undergoes special finishing, both wet and dry, followed by gentle drying in filtered air and temperature-controlled environments. Subsequently, the garment is ironed in three separate stages to achieve a flawless finish and perfect softness.
Once the treatment is complete, the garment is ready to be folded and placed in SVEVO's exclusive packaging, which guards each product with the utmost care. Each package is enriched with labels that tell the story of the garment, highlighting its superior quality, the processing technique and, in the case of special productions, the limited edition, which makes each model unique for its brilliance, lightness and resistance.
