In the 1970s, the Loro Piana family – who began trading wool from Trivero, Italy at the start of the 19th century – travelled to the wild highland plains of Mongolia and Inner Mongolia in search of the world’s finest cashmere, the fibre with which the house has become synonymous.
The new ‘Bale Bag’ from the house recalls these roots, its name a reference to the enormous bales of cashmere harvested by nomadic Mongolian shepherds and delivered to the company’s spinning mill in Roccapietra, Piedmont, where it is transformed into Loro Piana’s various fabrics – a process which continues today.
