This mill was founded in the 1950s, when it produced cotton fabrics for clothing and industrial use. They began making denim in 1960, switching fully to rope-dyed denim production in the 1970s. They are one of few mills today that still produce rope-dyed denim, which is valued by denim aficionados because of the authentic process and way the fabric develops a coveted fade that isn’t possible in mass-produced jeans.
Based in Padua, Italy, this small leather tannery is part of the Leather Working Group.
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.
