Behind the fabric
From the italian mill’s to your wardrobe
Italy is home to some of the finest artisans specializing in luxurious woolen fabrics, alongside exquisite materials such as llama, cashmere, and camel. These fabric mills represent one of the oldest weaving heritages in the world, renowned for their deep respect for nature and the employment of rare artisanal techniques. Their unwavering commitment to quality has distinguished them in the industry. Today, Italian mills set the benchmark for balancing tradition with innovation, all while promoting environmental sustainability and social responsibility.

Nature Meets Expertise
The mills have perfected a blend of deep-rooted knowledge and a harmonious relationship with nature. Using the finest local resources, they harness pristine natural waters for washing and dyeing, essential to achieving the highest level of purity. One of their unique processes, called "teasing," utilizes local thistle flowers. These special flowers are used in traditional brushing techniques to create various levels of dense fluff, resulting in a softer, warmer fabric with superior natural insulation by trapping air between the fibers.
A Sustainable Commitment
World-class Italian fabric crafting is only meaningful when done ethically. The mills prioritize sustainability without compromising the quality of their products or the integrity of the natural environment. They champion diversity, gender equality, and worker security, ensuring these values attract and retain top talent. Their commitment extends to reducing carbon footprints and ensuring animal welfare and product traceability. Through collaborations with universities, designers, and other brands, the mills promote responsible craftsmanship while preserving Biella's rich heritage and inspiring the next generation.
