3K M1297 Sweater - Black Comfort Long Bouclé Thickness 3 Handcrafted Laminated Treatment Made in Italy

Length in Black. A Different Gravity.

The M1297 in black takes the same five-fibre bouclé construction — 62% polycotton, 18% polyester, 8% wool, 8% viscose, 4% wool-polyester, knitted at thickness 3 with a handcrafted laminated treatment — and delivers it in the colorway where the laminated finish is most dramatic. In black, the bouclé loops cast micro-shadows. The laminated treatment adds a controlled sheen that shifts with movement. The long silhouette means that drama plays out across the full length of the garment. This is a sweater with presence.

Why This Sweater Is Different

• Long silhouette: Extended length that falls below the hip — a sweater that functions as a layer, a statement, and a silhouette-defining piece.
• Bouclé knit in black: The loops cast micro-shadows in black, creating a surface that appears to shift with movement and light.
• Handcrafted laminated treatment: Applied by hand — in black, the sheen is more pronounced, the surface more dramatic across the extended length.
• Thickness 3 gauge: Finezza 3 — substantial enough to hold the bouclé structure and provide warmth, flexible enough to drape naturally over the long silhouette.
• Five-fibre blend: Polycotton base for durability, polyester for structure, wool for warmth and texture, viscose for drape, wool-polyester for resilience.
• Comfort fit: Relaxed, generous cut designed for ease of movement and layering.
• Made in Italy: Crafted in Italy under LA HAINE INSIDE US's exacting standards.

The Moment You Put It On

In black, the M1297 is immediate. The bouclé loops catch the light from below, the laminated surface reflecting it from above — the result is a fabric that seems to move even when you are standing still. The long hem changes the proportions of everything beneath it. The comfort fit means it settles without effort.

This is a sweater that reads differently from different distances. Up close: dimensional, looped, artisanal, with a controlled sheen. From across the room: a long black silhouette with depth and presence. Both readings are correct. Both are intentional.

The Art of Long-Line Bouclé in Black

Bouclé at thickness 3 has enough weight to hold a long silhouette without collapsing. In black, the loops create micro-shadows that make the surface appear to shift — and across the extended length of the M1297, that movement becomes a design element in itself. The handcrafted laminated treatment is applied after knitting: a thin, flexible film that in black adds a controlled sheen, amplifying the depth of the loops beneath. The result is a fabric that is simultaneously matte and luminous, rough and refined — the loops intact, the surface transformed, the length intentional.

How to Wear It

• All-black monochrome: Full black stack — this sweater over black wide-leg trousers and black boots, the laminated bouclé texture as the sole point of visual interest.
• Contrast with light: Over cream, white, or warm neutral trousers — the long black bouclé creating a sharp tonal contrast across the full length.
• Over a dress: Worn over a slip dress or midi dress, the sweater length adding a black layer without breaking the line.
• Layered editorial: Under a long open coat, the black bouclé visible at the hem and cuffs, adding depth and texture to a minimal outer layer.

Care Instructions

• Hand wash or delicate machine wash at 30°C
• Do not tumble dry — lay flat to dry to preserve bouclé structure and laminated treatment
• Do not bleach
• Do not iron directly on the bouclé surface — steam from reverse if needed
• Dry clean acceptable
