The Lanificio Luigi Colombo SpA , headquartered in Borgosesia is an Italian textile producer who specializes in weaving and Edelgarn- Cashmerestoffen. The manufacturer is considered the world market leader in this segment. "His cashmere prizes go to Prada and Hermès, Gucci and Armani, Karl Lagerfeld and Hugo Boss," wrote Manager Magazin. The company has also been offering its own clothing and accessories collection since the 1990s. The line for women and men is sold internationally through its own stores and high-priced multi-brand boutiques. The luxury weaver market segment has been followed closely by the media around the world since Colombo competitor Loro Piana was taken over by the French luxury goods group LVMH for over two billion euros in the summer of 2013.

Company history

Lanificio Colombo has focused on the in-house development of innovative, high-quality fabric mixtures due to the increased competition in the textile industry in the past decades. The medium-sized company is now considered particularly innovative among textile suppliers in the luxury fashion industry. Almost all labels from the upper genre are among his customers. In December 2012, the company launched a joint collection with US chain store Tommy Hilfiger.
