Paula Hian, a couture designer based in Philadelphia and Paris, has an exquisite collection of high-end fabrics available at each season's end. The quantities are very limited and not reorderable. She also lets me know exactly what she paid for the fabric, so it's a rare opportunity to understand what fine European fabrics truly cost--it's mind-boggling! See above for the original wholesale price. You can also check out Paula's amazing designs at www.paulahian.com.
This is a stunning soft mint (Pantone 13-0107) mohair sweater knit, floaty, loosely knit and sheer, light and drapey yet cozy at the same time. Lots of sweatery stretch in the width, but pretty stable in the length. Very high mohair content, elegant, exquisite. Perfect for a floaty, drapey cardigan, wrap, for layering, etc. Dry clean only.
