Behind Our Fabrics

Italy’s Finest
Fabrics

Welcome to Biella, Italy,
the home of fine Italian fabrics.

Nestled in the foothills of the Italian Alps, about 80 kilometers northwest of Milan, the area's spring and lake-rich geography provides the foundation for the region's historical success. But what is it about Italian fabrics that we love so much? From the weaves and exceptional softness to the rich, robust textures, Italian wool's reputation as the best in its class has been cemented by the artisan heritage it comes from.

The mill capital of the world — Where the best wool mills in Italy are gathered and the most high quality woolen fabrics are weaved.

Superfine quality —From pure materials like wool, to different type of blends, Biella weavers merge Italian craftmanship with proven technical abilities.

Water from the alps

It all begins with nature's purest water. Besides high-quality wool from, among others, Australian Merino sheep, the most important ingredient in wool production is water. Situated among countless mountain springs, creeks, lakes and rivers, Biella's mills have enjoyed a ready supply of pristine, mineral rich waters needed to wash and treat wools, and mix with natural dyes. The result is a product of unmatched purity. Of course, none of this would be possible without the 800 years of innovative craftsmanship and expert artisanship that has come to define Biella.
