Carlo Barbera
Carlo Barbera (officially Lanificio Carlo Barbera s.r.l.) is an Italian wool mill established in 1949 which has been described as “Biella’s premier mill”.[1] It is currently owned by Kiton.[2][3] In the second generation of the family business, Luciano Barbera established a ready-to-wear brand that is a wholly separate business.[4]
In 2010 the company had a $5.8 million debt and was not in positive cash flow,[5] so the mill fabric was acquired by the Neapolitan luxury clothing company Kiton. The fabrics are vended by Huddersfield Fine Worsteds.[6]
