Loro Piana | Toronto

Project overview

Originally from Trivero, the Loro Piana family started as merchants of wool at the beginning of the 19th century. In the second half of this century, the family moved its activity to Valsesia and founded the wool spinning mill Fratelli Lora e Compagnia, followed by the wool spinning mill Zignone & C. in Quarona at the beginning of the 20th century.

In 1924, the engineer Pietro Loro Piana founded the company Loro Piana & C. in Quarona.

After taking the lead of the company in the 1960s, Franco Loro Piana, grandson of Pietro, started to export high quality fabrics to Europe, America and Japan.

In the 1980s, Sergio and Pier Luigi Loro Piana started to diversify the business, therefore launching their first ready to wear collection and creating the luxury goods division. The interior division was launched in 2006
