Fabric is fundamental to the Zegna Group: it is our essential truth woven into everything we do for over 110 years. Fabric was the bold ambition of the founder to be a force for good in the world. Fabric represents our culture of beauty as far as the Group remains an industrious master of it with an unrivalled manufacturing legacy, forward-looking creativity, and technical and sustainable innovation.
Over the years, the acquisition of historic Italian companies, each specialised in its own product sector, has enabled the Group to create a one-of-a-kind Made in Italy Luxury Textile Laboratory Platform with the aim of producing the highest quality fabrics, while safeguarding the uniqueness of the Italian supply chain in the name of craftsmanship.
Through Lanificio Zegna, Bonotto, Dondi, Pettinatura di Verrone, Filati Biagioli, Tessitura Ubertino and Tessitura di Novara, the Group shares its fabrics with other brands and creators by acting as a platform for their imagination in a constant quest for creativity, innovation and quality. From the heart of our business to the world around us, echoing the dreams of our founder, we weave the fabric of tomorrow that feels worthy of our dreams.

In 2018, the Zegna Group acquired ownership of the historic Cappellificio Cervo, a well-known hattery in Biella, Italy, with over 120 years of history. Cappellificio Cervo, which takes its name from the nearby stream that crosses the Biella area, was founded as a cooperative in 1897 by local master craftsmen who started the path that made it one of the most prestigious worldwide brands in the sector.

The company has still original machinery from the 1800s, which allow it to preserve, unaltered, some of the detailed work methods particularly appreciated by several, prestigious worldwide luxury brands. Traditon and innovation are the key elements of this leading manufacturing company that largely contributed to the crafting excellence of the Made in Italy.
