It was Luigi’s father Franco that spread company’s operations beyond Italy’s borders in the 1940s, whereas he and his brother expanded the brand globally. Loro Piana now has around 130 stores worldwide, which offer a close variety of premium fabrics. Be it cashmere from Chinese and Mongolian baby goats or fur from Andes’ vicunas, they have it all for a price. For example, their women’s jackets sell for as much as $4,500.
