Loro Piana and vicuña wool — the noblest fibre

The story of the celebrated house of Loro Piana reaches back to the early 19th century and the tradition of Italian merchants trading in wool.

Drawing on that rich inheritance, the family company evolved across several generations, changing the nature of its business. After the war it became a leading supplier of woollen and cashmere fabrics, and towards the end of the 20th century it began producing ready-to-wear clothing and accessories as well.

Vicuña wool — the luxury above luxuries

Loro Piana is the only company licensed to produce and trade the most expensive wool in the world — the wool of the Andean vicuña. It is a fibre so fine and so rare that for centuries it was reserved for the most demanding. Today it is the hallmark of the highest luxury.

The house offers not only collections for men, women and children, but also a line of elegant accessories. It is from fabrics like these — Loro Piana, Kiton or Canali — that suits are made to measure under the Occhiello by Davide service.

Loro Piana is one of twelve houses available at Atelier Davide. Discover all the fashion houses we represent.
