ZEGNA’s story began in 1910, when eighteen-year-old Ermenegildo Zegna founded a wool mill in Trivero, located in Italy’s Piedmont region. His ambition was to create the world’s finest fabrics while improving the surrounding community and environment.
From the earliest years, the company invested heavily in textile innovation and sustainability. Ermenegildo Zegna initiated reforestation projects and developed what later became Oasi Zegna, a protected natural area surrounding the company’s birthplace.
Over time, the company evolved from fabric manufacturing into one of the world’s leading luxury menswear houses.
