Piacenza Cashmere

Piacenza Cashmere is an Italian textile and knitwear house whose origins date to 1733, when Pietro Francesco Piacenza established the family’s wool business in Pollone, near Biella. Rooted in one of Italy’s historic textile regions, the company developed its identity through generations of expertise in fibres, fabric production, and finishing. Cashmere became central to its reputation, alongside other fine materials explored through both textiles and finished garments. Its collections favour understated silhouettes, nuanced colours, and tactile surfaces, allowing the character of the yarn to take precedence over conspicuous decoration. Sweaters, cardigans, scarves, and other knitted pieces express an approach to dressing shaped by material knowledge and quiet refinement. The relationship between traditional techniques and technical development remains an important part of the house’s story, connecting its long manufacturing heritage with contemporary wardrobes. Piacenza Cashmere offers a measured vision of Italian luxury, finding distinction in texture, proportion, and the subtle details that make familiar pieces feel considered.
