Brand legacy
Brunello Cucinelli, the brand, was founded in 1978 by the Italian designer and entrepreneur, Brunello Cucinelli, in Solomeo, a small medieval village in Umbria, Italy. The brand started with a vision to create luxurious cashmere garments that combined traditional craftsmanship with modern design sensibilities.
Inspired by the beauty of his surroundings, Cucinelli established a unique brand identity focused on artisanal excellence, ethical practices, and a philosophy he calls “Humanistic Capitalism.” This approach emphasizes the well-being of workers and the community, ensuring a harmonious relationship between business and society.
Over the years, the brand expanded its offerings beyond cashmere to include a wide range of ready-to-wear clothing, footwear, and accessories for both men and women. Each collection is crafted with utmost care and attention to detail, reflecting the brand’s commitment to impeccable quality.
Brunello Cucinelli’s garments are renowned for their soft, luxurious fabrics, muted color palette, and timeless designs that transcend fleeting trends. The brand’s signature style is characterized by a blend of Italian sartorial heritage and contemporary elegance, creating pieces that exude refined sophistication.
Today, Brunello Cucinelli is celebrated as a global luxury brand, with boutiques and retailers around the world. Despite its international success, the brand remains rooted in its heritage, continuing to produce its collections in Italy and upholding the values of craftsmanship, sustainability, and ethical business practices instilled by its visionary founder.
