Discover Why We Use Loro Piana Fabric
Selecting the correct fabrics and cloths is essential to creating sartorial menswear. Quality fabrics can define and shape your outfit or drape whilst creating natural benefits from the composition. Fabrics can easily suit different occasions and seasons whilst also having their uses across many clothing categories.
Loro Piana has been a world leader in fabric manufacturing for nearly 100 years and was founded in 1924 by Pietro Loro Piana in Quarona, Italy. The family-run business has been making fine fabrics for six generations of skilled craftsmanship.
Below we discuss in more detail exactly why we use luxurious Loro Piana fabric across our clothing collection.
Did You Know? Loro Piana produces over five million metres of fabric each year.
Based in northern Italy, Loro Piana produces textiles and luxury goods using the world's finest, rarest raw materials. The pursuit of excellence has been its mission since it was established in 1924.
THE HISTORY BEHIND LORO PIANA
The Loro Piana family actually began trading wool in the early 1800s across northern Italy. However, it wasn't until 1924 when Pietro Loro Piana officially registered and founded Loro Piana & Co, the current company.
After the war, Pietro's nephew Franco took over in 1941, and it's here where the firm began to establish its reputation as a supplier of premium wool and cashmere textiles for a growing haute couture industry, locally within Italy but also abroad. Then, in the 1970s, Sergio and Pier Luigi Loro Piana took control of the company, diversifying into luxury goods and developing an international retail arm.
The company's success is down to a mixture of its time-honoured traditions and state of the art technology, enabling them to offer fabrics that are renowned for their peerless quality. All of the Loro Piana's fabrics are made in Italy to the highest standards of craftsmanship and sartorial excellence.
