Fabric FAQ
Cloth, mills and Biella.
Where is Linea di Biella’s cloth woven?
In Biella, Italy — the wool capital of the Italian Alps — sourced from 33 certified Italian mills. Biella’s low-mineral alpine water is the historic reason the region’s worsteds and flannels finish the way they do.
Which mills do you weave with?
Certified Italian houses including Vitale Barberis Canonico (weaving in Biella since 1663), Ermenegildo Zegna, Loro Piana and Reda 1865, among others. We hold the swatch library and manage the supply so the fabric story behind every label is genuine.
What cloths can partners specify?
Wool flannel, high-twist fresco for warm climates, year-round worsteds, and pure linen — in solids, stripes, Glen checks and tonal jacquards. We guide each partner to the right weight and weave for their market and season.
Do partners choose the fabric, or do you?
Partners specify from our curated Biella swatch sets; we manage sourcing, quality control and stock. You get the cloth choice without the cost or risk of holding fabric inventory.
Is the “woven in Biella” fabric story verifiable?
Yes. Our cloth is woven in Biella from named, certified mills — the same houses covered in independent editorial like The Rake and Permanent Style. We can share mill references for any commission.
