Knitting Yarns Collection Spring Summer 23 by Marchi & Fildi and Filidea at Pitti Filati

The combination of the different fibres makes it possible to create a light streaky effect for a delicately uneven colour. The hand is natural and pleasant and the colour palette continues with the refined sun-faded effects and light plant colours: yellowed whites which turn into soft beiges, straw and sage green, delicate tones inspired by the inside of shells.

Marchi & Fildi

Marchi & Fildi S.p.a was established in 2007 through the fusion of the mills Filatura Marchi and Fildi, owned by the Marchi and Dissegna families. Filidea is the youngest company within the Group, and was set up in 2008.

The Marchi & Fildi Group proposal for the fashion world consists of linear or circular knitting, weaving and hosiery. The distinguishing element in the collections is the focus on sustainability, which starts with the selection of the raw materials and finishes with the ECOTEC® brand owned by Marchi & Fildi.
