🌟 What is Panno Casentino?
The Panno Casentino is a time-honored Tuscan wool fabric with origins dating back centuries. Once prized by shepherds and outdoor workers for its durability against harsh weather, this "raw" wool became a staple for practicality. By the late 19th century, it transformed into an elegant and stylish material used for jackets, cloaks, and even horse covers.
👑 A Fabric of Historical Prestige
This distinctive fabric, with its vivid orange, green, and brown hues and unique curly texture, has been favored by historical icons such as Baron Bettino Ricasoli, Giuseppe Verdi, and Giacomo Puccini. Over time, it became a symbol of luxury, gracing the wardrobes of noblemen and wealthy landowners.
🌟 A Modern Renaissance
Today, Panno Casentino is experiencing a revival, with renewed interest from prestigious names like Gucci, who are incorporating it into luxury collections. Even King Charles III has a custom-made coat crafted from this exquisite Tuscan fabric.
