Textile context

Loro Piana’s story combines spinning and weaving know-how in Piedmont with branded cloth collections. Fiber still comes from farms and herds (for example merino wool or cashmere goats); the maison name is finishing, design and commerce. Storm System and similar finish names should be read only where the producer documents them for a specific cloth.
