A lighter-weight alternative to Letto's Monte Bianco blanket, the Alpina cashmere blanket provides amazing warmth at only 290 grams of weight per square meter. Alpina lovers call it a "second skin." The Letto Alpina is a 100% cashmere blanket made in the Piemonte region of Italy, in the city of Biella at the foot of the Italian Alps. Woven in small batches by master artisans, the melange yarn work creates a fine diagonal pinstripe pattern and is then finished with a ribbed woven binding.
