Showrooms.

The Fabric.
The initial fabric factory in Biella, Italy was founded by Carlo Barbera (1911–2013). The clothing manufactured by the firm is considered by at least one source to be of the finest quality. When the fabric production was in progress, it too was of luxurious standards. After dying, the yarn was rested six months while it regained humidity before weaving in order to obtain the best results. In 2010 the reported average price of fabric from the Carlo Barbera factory was 41 euros a meter ($48.75 a yard), about twice that of their Italian competitors.
