Loro Piana’s attention to textile quality has won it fans across the globe, with even Hermès and Fendi relying on it for their raw materials; the house is now helmed by LVMH’s Frédéric Arnault
As anniversaries go, Loro Piana’s 100th this year couldn’t have come at a better time.
The Italian luxury label celebrated the milestone with its first-ever exhibition, aptly titled “If You Know, You Know. Loro Piana’s Quest for Excellence”, held at the Museum of Art Pudong in Shanghai, China.
The event was a fitting way to cap a momentous few years for the low-key maison. Known as the purveyor of the finest fibres in the world – from baby cashmere to merino wool and vicuña – Loro Piana has experienced significant growth recently.
Founded in the Piedmont region of Northern Italy, the family company was acquired by LVMH – the largest luxury group in the world – in 2013. Since then it has expanded into categories such as footwear and leather goods, while staying true to its roots as a maker of high-quality, functional and well-designed garments that stand the test of time.
