Barberis fabric is created by the same family today as it was when it began in the textile industry in 1663. That's 3 centuries of knowledge that has gone into creating the perfect suit fabric!
Many of the factories current workers are still able to trace their family roots back through the Barberis factory. With second or third generations working at the same factory helping to create this wonderful fabric.
Location, location, location
The Vitale Barberis Canonico Italian fabric mill is located approximately 50 miles north or Turin. Nestled in the foothills of the Italian alps in the town of Biella. The factory is one of the oldest, and largest mills, in Italy. It employs over 440 people and delivers to over 80 countries around the world.
The Barberis fabric factory, all under one roof
Extraordinarily, the Barberis fabric factory is one of the few factories in the world that are able to produce every aspect of their cloth. From owning their own sheep, to undertaking fabric dying, spinning, weaving and finishing processes all in house. The factory weaves seven million meters of fabric each year. Incredibly, each meter is checked over individually by human eye for signs of flaws. A rigourous and time consuming process as you can imagine. This way it ensures each and every run of fabric is of the highest standard and best quality.
