THE HISTORY
Lanificio Arca was founded in 1950 under the vision of Cino Cini, an entrepreneur from Prato who created atypical wool textile solutions in the post-war period. The uniqueness lay in the textile processes that the company's looms, located just a few meters from the main office, were able to achieve. In particular, the "Nebiolo shoenher 4x3" four-color loom was, and still is, a symbol of versatility in Lanificio's offerings.
KNOWLEDGE
The experience and tradition of Lanificio Arca, combined with Beste's vision and commitment, create a unique offering for the wool accessories market, thereby underscoring the importance of controlled and transparent production in today's luxury industry.
PAST MEMORIES
For over 70 years, Marco Cini has preserved the strong identity created by his grandfather, continuing to operate 8 Jacquard looms. The fusion of past craftsmanship with contemporary innovations allows the carded and combed wool to be processed with an artisanal touch, ensuring that Italian heritage lives on in high-quality home accessories.
