LuxuryEst. 1978Solomeo, Umbria

The story

Brunello Cucinelli built his house around a single idea. In 1978 he began dyeing cashmere in colour, something rarely seen at the time, and from that small, bold step grew one of Italy's most admired luxury companies. Its home is Solomeo, a medieval hamlet in Umbria that Cucinelli lovingly restored and where the company still works today.

The house is known for what its founder calls humanistic capitalism: a belief that beautiful things should be made with dignity, respect for craft and care for the place they come from. That philosophy is felt in every garment, which tends to be soft, unhurried and made to be worn for years.

The codes

The house codes are gentle ones. Soft, lived-in washes that never look harsh; slim, straight and gently tapered tailoring; making that takes place in Italy; and understated leather patches and trims that whisper rather than announce.

The denim

Brunello Cucinelli denim is designed to sit naturally under a cashmere knit or a soft unstructured jacket. The washes are light and mid blues with a pleasant, worn-in ease, the cuts are tailored with a quiet hand, and every pair is cut and finished in Italy. It is denim with the manners of fine tailoring.
