Introducing Albeni
Established in 1905 in Gallarate, Italy by Pietro Albeni Tessitura, Albeni first manufactured wool fabrics for flags, linen and linings. The company was subsequently run by Pietro’s daughter, Edwige, in partnership with Giannino Orani, an expert in new textile technology, who decided to extend the range into fabrics for tailoring.
In 2020 Albeni launched the Merino wool project, building on the expertise developed at the beginning of the last century and updated with modern techniques and technologies. This resulted in a clothing line made of pure Merino wool.
The use of Merino wool, a fibre with numerous qualities— produces a garment which is antibacterial, isothermic, breathable, and elastic. The perfect combination came from merging an iconic garment like the t-shirt with the most high-performance material nature provides. The Merino wool fabric is made from an ultra-fine fibre, soft on the skin, lustrous, precious, and easy to care for in terms of washing and ironing.
At Dick's we are carrying a small collection of Albeni wardrobe staples, ideal for comfortable layering without sacrifice.
