Specializing in merino wool and cashmere, family-run Italian fashion brand Loro Piana creates luxury goods to the highest standard. Founded in 1924, the brand is the world’s largest cashmere producer, and has a long history of using only the most exclusive fabrics in its designs. Recently opening a 2,000-hectare reserve dedicated to the vicuña, the llama-like animal whose coat provides the brand with its so-called ‘fibre of the gods’; expect impeccably made baby cashmere sweaters, silk-blend scarves and suede shoes from Loro Piana that you won't find anywhere else in the world.
