Marzotto
Marzotto has been making fabrics in the town of Valdagno, in the northeast of Italy, for more than 180 years. Since our first collections, we have worked together to produce premium weaves for men’s and women’s tailoring.
With meticulous attention to quality and detail, Marzotto and its 4,200 employees control all steps in the supply chain, from raw material selection to the production of finished fabric.
Founded in 1836 by Luigi Marzotto, the company was taken over by his son Gaetano at just 21. In the decades that followed, it switched from a craft model to an industrial one, making Marzotto a global leader in high-quality woven fabrics.
