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).

Wool is a renewable fiber; one sheep can produce 4-5 pounds of wool per year. Wool provides warmth by trapping heat, while simultaneously transporting moisture away from the body so skin stays dry and comfortable. It is naturally antimicrobial, so it resists odors and rarely needs washing. Its exceptional durability allows for long garment lifespan, and it can biodegrade when disposed into right soil conditions.
