Since 1910
Ermenegildo Zegna
History:
Zegna is the global pioneer in luxurious menswear. Mr. Ermenegildo Zegna established a wool mill in the Northern Italian town of Trivero 110 years ago.His vision was not just the manufacture of the mill; he wished also to develop his hometown – and the world around him – so that quality goods could be assured without jeopardizing the life quality of future generations.
The collections of new custom-design and luxury leisurewear combine work, travel and leisure. Zegna is among the most specialized luxury firms in Italy. Looking ahead to the future while honoring the past, the Company has started to intensify its clear and sustainable development direction by recruiting specialist suppliers to develop fabrics and materials of outstanding consistency. Zegna and other major luxury brands are making use of these luxury textiles. The acquisition of these historical Italian producing firms encourages the Company to establish a complete Textile Division showcasing Made in Italy's enduring craftsmanship. Modern production practices have since been developed and in the luxurious men's customizability and casual industry new development techniques have evolved
Only the best garments are obtained from natural resources. That means we need to ensure the wellbeing of those natural resources. The way we care for our friends and family is the same way we care for the animals and their habitat. For Zegna's success in manufacturing the world's finest fibers, a constructive and equitable partnership with global societies and the environment is important.
The Zegna Textile Division
Wool
The long fibers of wool make it ideal for custom pieces. The higher the quality, the more evident it is.
2. Cashmere
One of the highest quality in the world, an exceptionally soft raw material.
3, Alpaca
A natural insulator, which enables performance fabric to be useful. Alpaca is commonly used in knitwear and coats.
Trofeo Collection
The Trofeo Collection is a wool made of 100% of the worsted fabric of the prestigious Australian Superfine Merino wool with long fibers. The essential quality that makes up Trofeo is strength, softness and resilience.
Bielmonte Oasi Wool Collection
Wool made from the heart of the natural area in the Province of Biella, Piedmont, Italy. The region of Bielmonte is the soul of Oasi Zegna and was "created" by Ermenegildo Zegna in the 1950s.

Vertical Integration
Sheep to shop! Zegna is fiercely vertically integrated. Fine wool is turned into luxury garments, arriving straight from Australia to the Lanificio Wool Mill in Trivero. The process proceeds to produce the men's collections and to shops such as La Contento.
