Master of Fibres

Master of Fibres recounts the making of an iconic Maison – how it started as a wool-trading company and evolved into the ultimate destination for refinement, excellence, and textile artisanship.​ Through never-seen-before photographs, interviews with the Loro Piana family, and archival documents, the volume is narrated by Nicholas Foulkes and brings to life 100 years of history and heritage, telling the story of six generations of visionary fabric entrepreneurs. Part of Assouline’s esteemed Ultimate Collection, it is meticulously bound and finished by hand, its elevated clamshell case covered in one of Sergio Loro Piana’s favourite fabrics, the Sergio Tela, crafted from cotton and linen for a unique sensoriality. More than a book, it is an emblem of unparalleled craft – a signifier of luxury and sophistication.
