Kiton fabrics

Each collection is a tale of quality. The starting point, the fundamental requirement, is the quality of the fabrics. This concern has always been at the heart of Kiton’s philosophy through constant research aimed at telling the history of the company, updated for the present day through the most elegant exclusive weaves and patterns from the historical archives in Naples. We carefully choose yarns and fabrics, identify the most suitable manufacturing processes to preserve their characteristics and experiment with new combinations. Because wearing a Kiton suit must be an unforgettable experience.

Vicuña is the most precious and sought-after yarn in the world due to its rareness, lightness and ductility, its softness and ability to provide warmth. Here, excellence blends with myth and the glorious, tormented history of populations and civilisations that no longer exist, that have been both appreciated and had an iconic status since time immemorial within Andean culture. This is a type of wool that has become a symbol of fine, handmade craftsmanship and lightness, the basis of a story associated with the utmost quality of great tailoring. In 2012 our “Pure Vicuña Yarn Project” culminated in the development of our own system that allows us to create unique qualities of Vicuña. Kiton innovation led to the invention of colourful and patterned Vicuña, Summer Vicuña, Denim Vicuña and Jacquard Vicuña.
