Bellagio — Premium Silk Set

The signature piece. Late June at Lake Como, the air finally cooling after a long, golden day — your room on the third floor of a Belle Époque hotel, the terrace doors open onto cypress and water. It is a weight you hear before you feel: a soft, certain fall as the silk leaves the hanger and finds your shoulders. The tailored collar holds its line as if pressed an hour ago. The trouser breaks once at the instep and settles. Downstairs in the salon a quartet has begun something by Fauré; a steamer trails a long V across the lake toward Varenna. You pour a finger of something amber and step onto the terrace. The silk moves with the gravity of a heavier cloth — wool's authority, silk's hush. This is what a maison does when it stops apologising for the weight of its own work.

Fabric: 100% Grade 6A mulberry silk — the heavyweight, the house standard.

Details

• Tailored long-sleeve shirt with structured collar and matching piped trim
• Full-length trouser with elasticated waist and inseam pockets
• A dense, substantial weave gives a heavier, more architectural drape
• Two-piece set, intended to be passed down

Care

Hand wash cold with a pH-neutral silk detergent, or entrust to a silk-trained dry-cleaner once per season. Dry flat in shade, away from radiators. Iron inside-out on low; the weight of the cloth will do the rest.

The signature of the Silk Sleepwear collection — the piece the maison was built around.

• Reduces friction on skin and hair by up to 43% versus cotton — fewer lines on waking, less breakage at the roots.
• Holds your body's temperature without trapping heat — for sleep that does not break at 3am.
• Will not wick away your night serums or eye cream. Your routine stays where you put it.

Mulberry silk shares eighteen amino acids with human skin. Hypoallergenic by nature, it resists dust mites and bacteria — and it drapes beautifully without ever feeling heavy.
