Celebrating its 100th anniversary, Loro Piana has released a coffee-table book, Master of Fibres, written by renowned historian and journalist Nicholas Foulkes. Tracing the brand’s roots and its evolution into a global luxury powerhouse, the book has become a must-have addition to any collection and a perfect way to commemorate a century of savoir-faire and legacy.
Compiled and reported by acclaimed English author, historian, and journalist Nicholas Foulkes, the book features extensive interviews with various members of the Loro Piana family, including quotes and stories documented over the past century. From the passport granted to wool merchant Giovanni Loro Piana in the mid-1800s to the brand’s current status as a leader in textile excellence and innovation, the book takes readers on a journey down memory lane, highlighting key moments in the maison’s history through collages of original photographs and historical documents sourced from the house’s archives.
However, the book’s content is not the only reason to have it. This handcrafted volume, spanning 196 pages, is published by Assouline and features 150 illustrations. It comes housed in a luxurious clamshell case and is covered in Loro Piana’s signature Tela Sergio fabric—a detail that is both elegant and highly appealing. Loro Piana: Master of Fibres is now available at select Loro Piana and Assouline stores worldwide and online.
