In
1881, the grandfather of
Nino Cerruti founded the
textile mill
Lanificio Fratelli Cerruti. Located in
Biella (
Piemonte,
Italy) the water in the region is put to use to wash and treat the
wool. The
latter is imported principally from
Australia and
South Africa, so as to develop
flannel,
tweeds,
cashmere, and butter muslin.To this day, Cerruti fabrics are produced in the same workshops.
