When I created my Made-to-Measure suits service, I immediately chose Drago, the Italian brand. Not only because of its beautiful fabrics, but especially because of the family I have appreciated for a long time, and the relationship I had with the whole workshop team. I will then explain in this post some historical points from their creation to the production, to which I give a lot of care and which fully justify their success. I want to share them with you. Enjoy your reading !
1973 : the founders of the Drago family created the historical spinning mill in 1973 in the Italian city of Biella, a real reference point for the main wool mills. Since then, the company has gained an important share of the market, becoming one of the leader in its field, and it was in 1980 that Drago has developed a network of international sales. By joining the company, the sons, Paolo and Daniela have followed targeted studies and innovative ideas, and therefore contributed to the expansion of the group.
As I mentioned earlier in this post, Drago's productive structure is located in Biella. On the other hand, plants are based in Lessona and Verrone: the spinning department is equipped with machines of last generation and a modern laboratory for real time quality controls on fibres and yarns. In the weaving department, a modern frame is able to produce extra-fine fabrics; and in Verrone, the finishing department ensures the "hand" finishing of the fabrics. It is incredible to visit and discover for those who love the diversity of fabrics and the meticulous work of craftsmen.
Finally, Drago fabrics contain the values of the selection of the raw material and the excellent quality of the yarns that compose them. The Italian tradition is innovative to lighten the weight and give more modernity to meet the needs of the most sophisticated and demanding customers. The attention to detail and the culture quality make Drago fabrics one of the most important choices among the International Men's Clothing Houses..
See you soon !
