Rogna

Rogna is a family-run wool mill founded in 1950 in Camburzano, in Italy's Biella weaving region. It makes pure wool and wool-silk fabrics, and is best known for its Mongolian cashmere fabrics, which it dyes, spins, weaves and finishes in Biella. The mill's designs draw on an archive of fabrics, mainly British, spanning 75 years. Founder Leonardo Rogna says: "Made in Italy represents an invaluable heritage of craftsmanship that must be protected and appreciated."

It all starts with fine cashmere yarns — the perfect material for remarkable interpretations of creativity and style.

British Style, Italian Craftsmanship

If there’s one thing the Rogna mill excels at, it’s learning from, and building upon, the style traditions of the past. Their take on fabric is inspired by an archive of, mainly British, fabrics spanning 75 years. Precious wool-silk blends & pure wool are found throughout their offerings. But it’s the range of ultra-soft, uniquely finished Mongolian cashmere fabrics that have set them apart—all crafted, dyed, spun, woven and finished with the artisan skill and dedication that can only be found in the Biella province.

The respect and passion don’t start & end with the fabric.

The Rogna mill puts a strong emphasis on crafting with conscience. They promote fair production by making all efforts to maintain traceability and transparency throughout their production process. Furthermore, as of 2021, the Rogna mill has run on solar energy—setting a new standard for the Made in Italy mark.
