Mending and Pinzatura
Living in Biella knowledge about fabrics is in the air, everywhere you can hear the talk of the local technical jargon and in Summer you can hear the chirping of the crickets merging with the noise from the looms. Sixty years ago my mother, a mender in a local woolen mill, opened Rammendatura Baù with my father.
I grew up among fabrics and to this day I carry the legacy of what my mother created: a firm where seemingly everything has remained the way it would have been 200 years ago, where no technology replaces the mender’s needle and tweezers. Today speed is added to precision, and only thanks to expertise it is possible to find solutions to face new challenges.
