Nothing exudes luxury and elegant taste quite like silk. Except maybe cashmere. And so we present you with today's dilemna. This page offers both! First up is the beautiful new cashmere, cotton & silk created for us by Italy's renowned Bresciani 1970. Also from these talented artists is our exclusive pure silk over-the-knee sexy, iridescent eveningwear style. Finally, in a hedonist's dream, the spectaularly soft, beautifully colored cashmere & silk blend by the artisans at Marcoliani. And coming in Spring ... pure silk in elegant solid knee-highs.

As with any luxury silk, these should receive tender care. Wearing them to afternoon field hockey or while climbing the Alps may not bode well for their longevity. For smaller mountain ranges, make your own judgement call.

All washable top-quality luxury socks should be laundered in cold water and dried without heat for the best longevity. A dryer is acceptable if used on the no-heat "fluff" setting. Those containing silk and/or cashmere should be hand-washed in Woolite and hung or blocked to dry.
