Lanificio Luigi Colombo S.p.A. operates in the realm of luxury textiles, producing fabrics from cashmere and other noble fibres and is described as the largest global producer in this segment, a status maintained across three generations of family leadership. The company processes fibres such as cashmere, kid cashmere, yangir, kid wool, guanaco, vicuña and camelhair into high-end fabrics and, where appropriate, garments, reflecting a long-standing focus on noble materials. All production is carried out in two historic Italian plants, Borgosesia and Ghemme, with a vertically integrated workflow that spans fibre selection, yarn making, fabric production and final assembly. Its customer base comprises leading international fashion houses, and its Luxury Collection extends the offering to soft accessories, kid cashmere knitwear and luxury outerwear. In November 2025, Hermes International announced its acquisition of Lanificio Colombo, a development aligned with broader vertical integration trends in the luxury materials market.
