White + Warren Teams Up With The Met Museum on Cashmere Capsule
White + Warren is ushering in 2024 with its biggest collaboration yet: a limited-edition collection with The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Earlier today, the luxury knitwear brand announced it joined forces with the the cultural institution and New York City landmark to release a 10-piece cashmere capsule just in time for winter. Standout pieces from the collection include White + Warren's classic sweaters featuring artwork inspired by two tapestries currently on display at The Met: "Arms of Greder Family of Solothurn, Switzerland" and "Fragment of a Tapestry or Wall Hanging."
"We really leaned into the idea of the cashmere crewnecks serving as a token of good luck and prosperity for the start of the new year," Catherine Morrissey, President of White + Warren, tells Town & Country. "The tapestries were chosen for their symbolism and then replicated in intarsia-knit cashmere. The dragon featured in the Dragon Tapestry Crewneck, which draws inspiration from a 15th century tapestry housed at The Met Cloisters, is a symbol of protection. The swan depicted in the Coat of Arms Embroidered Crewneck represents the harmony and inner beauty we would attribute to that animal."
The new capsule also includes embroidered cashmere beanies emblazoned with The Met’s vintage Renaissance M logo, which ran for 45 years beginning in the '70s, as well as White + Warren's cult-favorite (and T&C-loved!) travel wrap.
"The Cashmere Travel Wrap is an iconic White + Warren style—it’s been around for most of our 26-year history and we reintroduce it each season in new colors. It felt like this amazing full-circle moment to be able to see the two come together in such a contemporary way," adds Morrissey. "We hope that this capsule collection captures the same sense of discovery and inspiration a visit to the museum might bring."
The White + Warren x The Met collaboration, which ranges in price from $195 to $445, is available to shop now on WhiteandWarren.com and in the gift shop at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Check out the collection here.
