Who we are
Textile Excellence between Tradition and Innovation

This is the essence of Lanificio F.lli Cerruti 1881: a commitment to creating exceptional fabrics that blend the best of the past with the possibilities of the future. From the meticulous selection of premium materials to the harmonious integration of advanced technology and time-honored craftsmanship, every step of our production process is dedicated to delivering fabrics that exceed expectations.

Rooted in the rich textile tradition of Biella, Italy, the Cerruti family has been crafting fine fabrics since the late 18th century. In 1881, they established the Lanificio, where they forged a unique bond between tradition and innovation. Under the visionary leadership of Silvio Cerruti in the 1940s, the company embarked on a pioneering journey of international expansion, reaching the Americas and the Middle East. Symbolized by the caravella (caravel) in their logo, this journey represented the Lanificio's unwavering commitment to bringing beauty to the world.

When Nino Cerruti took the helm in the 1950s, he revolutionized the fashion industry. His groundbreaking approach to menswear, characterized by a deconstructed yet elegant style, elevated the importance of exceptional fabrics to new heights. Today, as then, Lanificio F.lli Cerruti 1881 continues to set the standard for luxury textiles, inspiring designers and discerning customers worldwide.
