Menswear retailer Sartoria Studio in downtown New York City announces a new partnership with fashion designer Loris Diran. Sartoria Studio is the first retailer in the United States to carry the fashion designer's exclusive new accessory collection, beginning with a new assortment of "OXIDISED" cashmere scarves.

SARTORIA STUDIO and LORIS DIRAN Introduce an Exclusive Cashmere Accessory Collection for Pre-Fall 2023

Loris Diran, designer said:

"I've always been interested in investigating the dialogue between sartorial and athleisure. The first time I entered Sartoria Studio, I realised how perfectly this old-world-meets-urban concept store matches my design sensibility. Sartoria Studio is the perfect venue to reintroduce my eponymous collection to the U.S. market and release my first 2023 Per-Fall offering: the new LORIS DIRAN 'OXIDISED' cashmere collection."

In collaboration with a Nepal-based artisanal knitwear atelier, Diran explores new and inventive treatments and overdye techniques for the 'OXIDISED' cashmere collection from Sartoria Studio. Each opulent, yet rugged, knitted scarf is made from exceedingly soft fibres harvested ethically from the Himalayan goats of the high mountain regions. These 40"x80" 3 ply knits feature a heathered texture and are available in a variety of rich bi-color combinations, including Patina/Rust, Concrete/Taupe, and Brick/Earth. Individually crafted Shawls ensure that each consumer of Sartoria Studio will receive a genuinely one-of-a-kind product from the LORIS DIRAN collection.

Jack Menashe, founder and CEO of Sartoria Studio, states,

"Sartoria Studio is proud to offer our consumers the world's finest apparel and accessories, sourced from world-renowned designers and clothiers. Our store is honoured to be the exclusive New York City retailer of LORIS DIRAN, beginning with these new 'OXIDISED' cashmere scarves."
