In Como, where silk is part of the city’s history, Barbieri, the Larioseta brand, has been working with meticulous care on this material since 1945. It is not just a company that produces accessories, but a manufacture that has made quality, design, and attention to detail its distinctive strength.
Over the years, the brand has been able to combine tradition and creativity, bringing Como silk to international markets and building a solid reputation in the world of high-end accessories.
The story begins in 1945. In an Italy rising from the ruins of war, with the desire to rebuild and rediscover beauty, Eugenio Barbieri sensed the invaluable potential of the silk tradition of Lake Como.
His was not simply the idea of starting a business, but a true mission: to understand and enhance the uniqueness of the “ennobling of Como silk.” With this vision, he founded our company, destined to become a point of reference, based on a fundamental principle: the quality of the material and the creativity of design are inseparable.
Over the years, we have increasingly made our way into the world of fashion, creating a widespread sales network that has brought our products all over the world.
The secret of Barbieri’s longevity and success lies in a dynamic balance, preserved and renewed through three generations. The transition from father to son, and then from son to grandson, was not a simple handover, but a continuous process of enrichment.
Each generation has been able to infuse new energy and perspectives while keeping the original core values intact. If the first laid the foundations based on craftsmanship, the following ones built a solid global commercial network and introduced stylistic and technological innovations, ensuring that the brand not only survived the passage of time but interpreted it and, at times, anticipated it.
Barbieri is a fusion of creative processes and works of art that blend on high-quality fabrics to create a unique and original collection.
The evolution of the brand is reflected in the expansion of its offer. Starting from the classic scarves and shawls that consolidated its reputation, Barbieri has explored new stylistic horizons.
This led to the creation of iconic products such as Twilly scarves, perfect for adding a touch of color to a wrist or a bag, and clothing lines that include elegant Kimonos, fluid Caftans, and garments with an imaginative and sophisticated taste.
This diversification has never betrayed the soul of the brand but has expanded its language and demonstrated to the world the extraordinary versatility of silk.
Another testament to the company’s innovative drive is the introduction of a state-of-the-art machine for “Double Printing.” This technology allows both sides of the fabric to be printed with different designs and colors, bringing the concept of reversibility to a new level. It is not mere technical virtuosity, but a design approach that embraces versatility and playfulness, offering customers two accessories in one and endless styling possibilities.
Today, Barbieri represents a perfect synthesis between tradition and vision. It is a company that, while moving nimbly within the fast pace of global fashion, maintains an unbreakable bond with its territory and its history. The passion that animates every phase of the production process, from the conception of the design to the choice of fabric, is transmitted in every single piece, creating a relationship of trust and affinity with those who choose it.
In a world that demands more and more in less and less time, Barbieri offers a luxury that goes beyond appearance: the luxury of an object conceived, designed, and crafted with care, a piece of art that accompanies and defines personal style.
