Origins

Thus, Cucinelli ventured out into the knitwear business, starting with colored cashmere pieces for women. Being deeply inspired by the preciousness of cashmere pieces, one of the brand's core values was born: uncompromised quality. The company was accepted exceptionally well at several European and foreign markets, scoring a steady growth and expansion internationally. In 2012, the brand listed on the Milan Stock Exchange, while staying true to a business model that is sensitive to sustainability and healthy growth.

To this day, 50 percent of their garments are produced through manual skills using needle, thread and scissors. Brunello Cucinelli continues to address consumers who are receptive to not only the products themselves but just as much to the process behind the product, including the dignity and ethics of the manufacturer.
