a quality choice RAW MATERIAL
The raw material, the yarn selection is a philosophy for us. Research, innovation and experimentation contribute to the perpetual definition of quality, that we embed into the fabrics we create. Attenction to the context and to sustainable produced yarns. Fine yarns and “long� fibers, like cashmere, merinos wool, silk and linen, that we select and renew with care every collection.
OUR INSPIRATIONS

Our past is our future
History
tradition
Tessitura La Colombina has its roots going back through four generations, combining two fundamental principles: innovation and dedication. Today, the two brothers Carlo and Mario have taken on this inheritance. What unites them is the deep conviction that they are continuing a history and a company that revives “the craftsman’s knowledge” every day, while looking to the future. The choice is that of adding continual research to the weaving tradition, the real strength of Made in Italy.
creativity EXPRESSION
fabrics
The synthesis of all our history and our company are the textiles. An ancestral product, apparently simple, which is the expression of a journey. Each textile has its own history and inspiration, from its conception and study to its realisation. We love creating textiles that are part of the idea of “timelessness�, choosing precious yarns such as merinos wool, silk and cashmere with great care that add value to the peculiar characteristics of the hand-loom.
The handlooms AN ANCIENT TRADITION
The wooden looms dating to the 1800s are the heart of our business; entering the courtyard and hearing their sound is like listening to a heartbeat. There are 14 ‘orthogonal’ hand looms, brought here after a moment of intuition by our grandmother Erina, who wanted to include them in the interwar period. We work with
our looms to find again the taste of a time that we do not want to lose; and at a slow rhythm chosen for today’s production of our textiles. The ‘know-how’ and manual gestures have always been our distinctive story, and today we strive to pass this world of knowledge on to the next generation, to let them fall in love too.
EACH FABRIC IS THE SYNTHESIS OF A REALIZED INSPIRATION, T H E R E S U LT O F A N EMOTION WHICH IS A LWAY S N E W.
With a hand-loom, the experience of the weaver is transferred directly onto the textile. Interlacing and shots, the beat of the pedal which marks the cadence of each weft, one centimetre after another. Personalisation, strength, character, the feel of the textile transmits the unique, living touch. Over the years, experience has brought us to choose from the “worlds” of textiles, as if they were main roads to follow, so that our selections range from classical to creative and even “avantgarde” textiles.
