This Italian factory was founded in 2003 by three women, two of whom are sisters with impressive family lineage in fashion and garment craftsmanship. Their grandmother was a gifted talent scout who discovered Martin Margiela, among others, and their father dedicated a lifetime to the art of traditional tailoring.

Located in Piedmont’s textile district, this Italian mil has been in production since 1946. Family run in its 3rd generation, this wool mill holds right to its origins- and is committed to values improving human and animal welfare, and especially processes in manufacturing that pose risks to environmental health. This company complies with the following standards: ISO 9001: 2015 Standard of environmental management system Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH).

Merino wool fibers are extremely fine and flexible, making lightweight yarns that are soft on skin. It is lustrous and moves with body, creating comfort and luxurious drape. Like all wool, it is a renewable fiber. It provides warmth while simultaneously transporting moisture away from the body, so skin stays dry. It is naturally antimicrobial, so it resists odors and rarely needs washing. When you do wash Merino, it dries faster than standard wool. The exceptional durability of wool allows for long garment lifespan, and it can biodegrade when disposed into proper soil conditions.
