Interview by Biella Siamo Noi
For over fifty years, Felice De Palma has been recovering and regenerating raw and secondary materials from manufacturing companies in Biella. The evolution of the initial work led the company to study and produce yarns deriving from these sustainable raw materials, at zero km, reducing water consumption and eliminating the use of chemicals. The “Green Fibers” product line is made with recognized characteristics and therefore labeled EU Ecolabel, the European Community ecological quality mark.
In 2003 Alyki Cashmere was born, a brand specialized in the creation of women's knitwear in cashmere and natural fibers, designed and produced by Luisa De Palma. A minimal and versatile style that bases its values on quality and on the territory. The women's knitwear collections are made with fine natural fibers produced and processed in selected Biella workshops where spinning is a form of art, passed down from generation to generation.
