Loro Piana Interiors is a luxury interior fabric brand developed by the global luxury fashion brand Loro Piana.
Loro Piana, known for its commitment to using only the highest quality natural materials such as cashmere, wool, and linen since its founding, elevates its exceptional material beauty and craftsmanship to the world of interiors through Loro Piana Interiors.
This brand, which combines traditional Italian Biella textile techniques with a modern aesthetic, is highly regarded as a symbol of luxury interiors, used in high-end residences, yachts, private jets, and hotels worldwide.
Commitment to natural materials of overwhelming quality
The appeal of Loro Piana Interiors fabrics lies, above all, in the quality of their materials.
Only the finest natural fibers, carefully selected from around the world—cashmere, vicuña, merino wool, linen, cotton, and silk—are used. These are meticulously woven in their Italian factories to create exquisite textiles that are soft, light, and possess an elegant sheen.
Their texture, warmth, and breathability are unparalleled in interior fabrics, making them materials that allow you to experience "authenticity" with all your senses every time you use them.
Baby Cashmere
Baby Cashmere is a precious fiber known for its exceptional softness and lightness, harvested from the undercoat of Hircus goat kids around six months old. It can only be collected once in a lifetime, making it incredibly rare. Furthermore, the fibers are finer than those of adult goats. While ultra-fine cashmere from adult goats measures around 15 microns, Baby Cashmere is approximately 13.5 microns. The yield is limited, with only 30-40 grams of fiber collected from a single goat. Loro Piana uses fibers from white cashmere goats in the Alashan region, known for their delicate and high quality. Originally, fibers from adult and young goats were mixed, but from 1995 to 2005, Loro Piana continuously persuaded goat farmers to separate the fibers. Today, this allows them to meticulously collect and deliver the small amount of delicate fiber from young goats to you.
Cashmere
Loro Piana, known as the largest Western manufacturer of cashmere, has cultivated strong relationships with Hircus goat farmers in northern China and Mongolia, which are considered to produce the highest quality, specially soft fibers. Hircus goats, which thrive in environments with temperature differences of 50 degrees between harsh winters and scorching summers, possess a specially soft undercoat beneath their coarse outer hair. Due to its structure, cashmere fibers have tiny air pockets between them, providing high insulation, and the finer the fiber, the more effective it is. Loro Piana procures cashmere with particularly fine fibers, approximately 15 microns, but only less than 100 grams can be harvested from a single goat. The cashmere, collected once a year between April and May, undergoes stringent quality inspections in Mongolia and China before being woven in Italy.
Wool
Loro Piana is known as the largest buyer of fine Merino wool under 12 microns from Australia and New Zealand. Wool is sold at auction, and Loro Piana purchases 30-50 bales of the highest grade or quality. The fibers are extremely fine, soft, and lustrous. To pursue quality and encourage the production of even finer wool, Loro Piana awards a prize called "Record Bale" to farmers who produce the finest wool, supporting the production of premium wool.
Pecora Nera
Historically, sheep originally had black wool. White wool became dominant due to selective breeding for easier dyeing. Loro Piana recognized the value of the original black Merino sheep and collaborated with New Zealand wool farmers working to restore them. Through careful selection and breeding of individuals with specific genetic traits, they spent 20 years to produce Pecora Nera®, a premium wool. Pecora Nera, meaning "black sheep" in Italian, features natural shades from warm browns to black without dyeing, possesses exceptionally strong, lustrous fibers, and a very soft touch.
Lotus Flower
Inle Lake, a calm body of water teeming with life in Myanmar, has long been home to wild lotus flowers. In Buddhism and Hinduism, the lotus symbolizes pure beauty and sacredness, representing a noble and healthy life. Myanmar has a tradition of making fabric from lotus fibers. The quality of lotus fibers deteriorates if not processed within 24 hours of harvest, so they are hand-processed immediately after being collected. Only 120g of yarn can be produced per day, and roughly 50m of fabric woven per month, a very limited quantity. To continue this traditional technique, Loro Piana collaborates with local communities to protect fabric production. Lotus fibers are incredibly fine, measuring about 3-5 microns in diameter, even thinner than cotton and linen, making them among the finest fibers in the world. The fabric is very light, highly breathable, and wrinkle-resistant. Due to its extremely fine fibers, one blazer requires 13,000 meters of yarn (equivalent to 26,000 stems). Loro Piana was the first Western company to use this lotus fiber to create fabric, introducing its unique quality to the world. Since 2019, this material has also been available for interior applications.
Vicuña
Vicuña, the world's finest and rarest animal fiber, comes from the small camelid that inhabits the high altitudes of the Andes. With its elegant and supple physique, the vicuña is known as the "Queen of the Andes." The Incas revered the vicuña and protected it by forbidding hunting. The finest fibers from its fleece were exclusively used by the imperial family, but later, the vicuña was overhunted by those seeking its superior fiber, bringing it to the brink of extinction. Various conservation measures were implemented over many years, but poaching continued, and by the 1960s, the vicuña population had dwindled to fewer than 5,000, eventually being classified as an endangered species. Driven by an unwavering belief and passion for the world's highest quality raw materials, Loro Piana became involved in the vicuña story in the mid-20th century. In the 1980s, they actively embarked on protecting this "fiber of the gods" in Peru, and in 1994, obtained exclusive rights to reintroduce vicuña fiber to the market. In 2008, they established the "Franco Loro Piana Reserve," Peru's first private nature reserve. Over the next five years, the vicuña population within the reserve doubled, and Loro Piana's efforts to avert the extinction of this precious animal achieved great success. Building on 30 years of experience in Peru, they expanded their activities to Argentina in 2013, acquiring the right to harvest the wool of wild vicuñas inhabiting designated areas in the Catamarca province of northeastern Argentina. Loro Piana is now the world's leading producer of vicuña. The average diameter of legally harvested fibers from adult vicuñas is a mere 12.5 to 13 microns. Loro Piana spins these vicuña fibers, weaves them into fabric, and once again brings this "fiber of the gods" to you today.
