Luciano Barbera Landing Page
A True Gentleman
Luciano Barbera is a true gentleman known for his grace and style, and that comes forth in the craftsmanship of his clothes. During a discussion with Scott Schuman, known for his website The Sartorialist, Luciano explained that his clothes are for the man who wants to experience them, not just wear them. They have to make him feel comfortable and natural in this style. We feature iconic outerwear and cashmere vests, in addition to knitwear, and sweaters from the Barbera brand. Each year we hold two trunk shows featuring items with an individual style that’s always ahead of the game. We look forward to receiving iconic Barbera houndstooth, and herringbone patterns, which give outerwear style, detail, and precision. There is never a question in the sartorial dedication in the craftsmanship and comfortability, which is why men keep coming back to Barbera year after year for clothes that have to be worn to believe.
Quality Is In The Thread
To Luciano Barbera, wool is a living thing. It breathes, and it performs. It lives on your body and creates a scene. “If your suit is not performing well, it’s like being in a car where you can feel every little bump in the road. If a suit is performing well, it’s as though you drive right over the bumps and you feel nothing,” Barbera says.
Creating some of the best yarns and fabrications across all of Italy, all Barbara fabrics are stored in an underground warehouse which is kept naturally cool and humid from a creek running below its floors. Thus, the mill is a key source of luxury products. It is not just a warehouse for Luciano though, for him it's a spa for fabrics. Once each spool is dyed, it rests in the mill for around six months where it breathes in the moisture from the air until 20 percent of its weight is from water. From there, the fabric undergoes a special 15--step process that Luciano has never disclosed to anyone not involved in the curating of the fabrics.
The History
Carlo Barbera’s company has been around for generations. The mill was opened in 1949 in Biella, Italy where his vision of caring for wools and cashmere in a way that would create exceptional designs was born. Barbera was soon known for creating artistic yarns, translating to glen plaid and mini check design shirts. A constant style in men’s fashion. Following his father’s vision, in 1971 Luciano Barbera began producing men’s garments under the Luciano Barbera brand. His philosophy:"Clothing for people who believe in individuality and intelligence".
