Women's outlet open

I see nothing in stock on the Canadian side. Mom needs a new coat so this would be a good opportunity to cop something nice for her.

Anyone got the Mint green wool silk linen from custom made? Says the fabric weight is 114g/m which seems incredibly lightweight??

Dear @BlairW,

Your point is legitimate, however a few clarifications are in order:

Firstly, it is the industry norm to express the weight of a fabric in linear and not square meters as it is stated in your posted image. Having in mind that this must be a fabric of "regular" width (150cm), we only have to multiply 114*1.5, and thus find that the weight of the fabric in question is 171grams; still lightweight, but not incredibly so!

Secondly, there are two reasons why this fabric could be so lightweight:
a) the high silk element in the mix (43%), coupled with the low linen one (19%); if these were the opposite, the fabric could have been even 100grams heavier.
b) Agnona is a first-class company, part of one of the most important, vertically-integrated groups of the clothing sector, therefore it can source only the finest raw materials and process them in a top-notch, state-of-the-art manner, therefore offering lightweight, high-quality fabrics.

Best,

Dimitris

TBH their website is a bit of a mess, plenty of dead links and even some basic filtering isn't working these days.

Like most things, it seems to have regressed in the last 5 years.
