Lucchesi family is in the textile business in Prato since 1897 and in 1962 they established Industria Italiana Filati, a Company specialized in the production of innovative yarns with precious blends and fancy effects for knitting machines. Nowadays all the production chain still takes place in Prato and our products are 100% traceable. Industria Italiana Filati has decided to subscribe the “Commitment Detox”, challenge launched by Greenpeace, which aims to eliminate toxic substances from the textile production chain and we adopt the path “4sustainability” to approach ethics in business by adopting a protocol and card values for sustainability. Today we present 3 different lines, Accademia, Industria and Ecollection that represent our history and commitments. Accademia line focuses on careful research into materials and new production technologies.Noble fibres like Baby Alpaca and Kid Mohair span on new generation spinning machines,Airy, for new lightness and softness. Industria line offers fancy knitting yarns in natural and synthetic fibres, suitable for a young and sporty range of productfor both men and women. The creation of ECOLLECTION is the result of a long engagement on the path towards eco-sustainability of our production. The 5 yarns that we propose for this season are made with Alpaca and recycled Pet: Alpaca: only natural colors, from a selection of the different shades of the Peruvian alpaca fleece which are being only washed.
