Lanificio Cerruti 1881 is one of the most iconic luxury fabric mills in the world, weaving fine cloth in the town of Biella, Italy, since 1881. Founded by Antonio Cerruti and later shaped by the legendary designer Nino Cerruti, the mill has become synonymous with innovation, craftsmanship, and timeless Italian elegance.
The pure, mineral-rich waters of Biella are essential to Cerruti’s finishing techniques, giving their suiting and overcoat fabrics a uniquely soft, luxurious handle. Their legacy includes working with top fashion houses and dressing cinema greats such as Michael Douglas, Richard Gere, and Harrison Ford in films like Wall Street, Pretty Woman, and Air Force One.
Today, Cerruti continues to produce world-class suiting, coating, and jacketing cloths, offering natural fibres like fine wool and cashmere with a distinctive “casual chic” flair. Thanks to Knightsman’s exclusive partnerships, these once-European-only fabrics are now available to clients in Australia seeking prestige, history, and performance woven into every thread.
