Lanificio Colombo Art & Technology

Darning

Although darning may appear to be a straightforward technique, it requires perseverance and commitment, but most of all passion, to master it.

The Long Journey of Cashmere

Amidst the vast territory of Mongolia roam the Hircus goats whose soft and precious fleece coveted by fashion enthusiasts around the world is tended by the skilled hands of the local shepherds.

Warping

Warping, a vital step in weaving, demands meticulous preparation to achieve a flawless final product.
The art of manually tying each yarn knot with passion and precision ensures an even and stunning weave, making it a rewarding and meditative process for weavers.
With care and attention to detail, warping elevates the craft of weaving to a truly elegant art form.

BIO CASHMERE®

At the heart of COLOMBO’s ethos is the belief that fashion and sustainability should go hand in hand. That’s why every piece of clothing tells a story of beauty and conscience, made possible by our commitment to sourcing and using the finest BIO CASHMERE® that’s both traceable and ethically produced.

Raw Material Control

Quality is paramount when it comes to creating exceptional cashmere garments.
Choosing the right raw materials and conducting tests is not only about researching the best quality of the fiber but also about ensuring reliability for the subsequent production processes.

Weaving

At the heart of Lanificio Colombo lies our weaving mill, where magic happens. Our state-of-the-art technology and skilled artisans transform yarn into the most exquisite fabrics you can lay your eyes on. With precision and care, we create distinctive designs using the noblest fibers like Kid Cashmere, Kid Wool and the fiber of the gods, Vicuna.

Fulling – Wet Finishing

Appreciate the art of fabric finishing! Our unique expertise involves a set of crucial measures carried out by enthusiastic artisans who are proud of their work. Our fulling process adds texture and enhances the durability of the fabric, while the washing phase cleanses it for further procedures. We use vegetal “ciardoni” to extract any hair from the pieces, enabling us to perform our classic sable work. You can rely on our proficiency and meticulousness as we prepare your fabric for the brushing process and final finishing procedures.

Dyeing Department

The Dyeing department at Lanificio Colombo is where nature meets Noble Fibers and where our commitment to sustainability is evident through the use of innovative water-saving systems.
The unique properties of the Sesia River water enable us to transform these fibers into vibrant colors, while our efforts to protect this precious resource reflect our dedication to preserving the environment.

Kate Jacket

Fashioned from an exquisite blend of cashmere and silk, our iconic Kate blazer is the embodiment of elegance and comfort.

By all means, it is a masterpiece that reflects a unique style.

Vicuna Puncetto

The Vicuña Puncetto: an unprecedented masterpiece, from the Andes to Valsesia, a handcrafted jewel that blends the art of master puncetto makers with the excellence of Lanificio Colombo. For the first time, the ancient puncetto technique, patiently crafted only with needle and thread, stitch by stitch, is combined with the precious Vicuña fibre, giving life to a unique work.

The result is surprising and refined: a lace that, when applied to the Vicuña shirt, transforms the garment into an emotion to wear, a sensory experience that celebrates the beauty of craftsmanship and the rarity of the raw material. To the touch, the impalpability of the ‘Fibre of the Gods’ offers a sensation of incomparable lightness and luxury, enveloping the wearer in an embrace of pure elegance.

Each stitch tells a story of dedication and craftsmanship, combining tradition and innovation in a symphony of textile perfection.

Let yourself be enchanted by this exclusive Lanificio Colombo creation, where the magic of Valsesian puncetto meets the sublime lightness of Vicuña, resulting in a garment that has no equal in the world.
