Raw materials
Raw materials carefully selected for both the winter collection (cashmere, alpaca, etc.) and summer collection (silk, linen, etc.), but above all a unique ability to mix them wisely to get the most out of each of them, in compliance with production standards.
A success story in the reuse of regenerated fibres (starting with wool), but also an intelligent use of renewable artificial fibres (Viscose FSC)
Supply chain
Artisanship but also innovation, industrial manufacturing but also widespread entrepreneurship, cutting-edge technical schools, and universities, but also knowledge handed down for generations: from this happy and unique combination formed over the centuries, a district and a supply chain created textiles that are the reliable and efficient reference point for those who make fashion and clothing all over the world
Sustainability
Textile districts generally represent a source of pollution and environmental degradation, given that they are among the leading industrial sectors for consumption of water resources, emissions into the atmosphere, use of raw materials, release of chemical substances and energy consumption.
