Cesare Attolini Olympic Blue Pure Sea-Island Cotton Cardigan

Discover the exceptional softness of this Cesare Attolini cardigan, crafted in a radiant Olympic blue from pure West Indian Sea Island cotton. The silhouette is clean and refined, with ribbed trims, a gentle roll at the collar, and mother-of-pearl buttons adding a discreet note of polish. Lightweight yet indulgent, it’s a versatile layering piece ideal for transitional weather or as an elevated alternative to a jacket in more relaxed settings.

What sets this piece apart is the fabric. Sea Island cotton is among the rarest and most prized cottons in the world, harvested exclusively in the British West Indies in limited quantities. It is celebrated for its extra-long staple fibers, which are finer, stronger, and smoother than almost any other variety. These fibres are spun into yarns with a naturally silky sheen and an incredibly soft touch, offering both durability and elegance. The cotton’s high tensile strength also allows for finer knitting without compromising longevity, giving garments an exceptional hand feel and resistance to pilling. Wearing Sea Island cotton is not just a question of comfort, but of quiet luxury, one that speaks through its texture and drape rather than overt branding.

This cardigan is produced by Fioroni, Attolini’s trusted knitwear partner in Umbria, known for its artisanal finishing and uncompromising standards. Every detail, from the hand-linked seams to the lustrous buttonholes, reflects the depth of Italian craftsmanship. The result is a garment that combines everyday wearability with the richness of rare material and refined execution.
