Made in Italy: From Yarn to Garment
From yarn to garment, the process remains close to its source. Production takes place entirely in Italy, within a specialised facility where each stage is connected, controlled, and continuously monitored.
The process begins with the knitting of individual panels on advanced flat-bed electronic machines, allowing for precision across different gauges. Each panel is immediately inspected to identify even the smallest irregularities - “to detect any knitting fault, like holes or inconsistencies” - ensuring that quality is addressed at the earliest possible stage.
From here, the panels move into linking, where garments are assembled with careful attention to structure and gauge consistency. This stage is critical in defining the integrity of the finished piece, ensuring seams are both durable and refined.
Before washing, garments undergo a stabilising steam process. This prepares the knit for industrial washing, allowing it to maintain its intended shape and measurements. The washing and tumble drying stages are not simply functional, but formative, refining the hand feel, enhancing softness, and ensuring the garment performs as intended in real-world use.
Each step is supported by ongoing quality control. As described by the production team, “quality control takes place after almost all the steps of bulk production.” This includes checks after knitting, after linking, and again after washing, where the final hand feel must align with approved standards.
Beyond this, in-house laboratory testing verifies performance over time. Yarn and finished garments are assessed for shrinkage, colour fastness, pilling, and durability, ensuring that the product maintains its integrity not just at delivery, but throughout its lifespan. Final inspection follows AQL 2.5 standards, confirming that each piece meets precise requirements for fit, finish, and construction.
Operating at a considered scale, with a focus on flexibility and technical expertise, the emphasis remains on execution rather than volume. The result is a garment that reflects its materials, and the process behind it; fully fashioned, carefully constructed, and consistent in every detail.
Here, ‘Made in Italy’ is not a label, but a process, defined by clarity, precision, and long-lasting integrity.
