The extraordinary journey of this unique wool from farm to fiber to finished product is the story of how anti-hero Fiona Gardner found magic in the alien, and the unique It is also a story of craftsmanship and the Maison’s constant pursuit of perfection. Pier Luigi Loro Piana and Fiona Gardner met at a gathering of New Zealand wool producers in the late 1990s. Fascinated by the charm and rarity of the natural black wool she grows, he developed a special relationship with her and began a collaboration between 2002 and 2003. He witnessed Fiona’s pioneering vision, tenacity and courage to go where no one had gone before and raise colored Merino sheep. Together they embarked on a breeding program to increase the quality of dark wool and all other natural shades, as well as the vibrancy of the colors. It all started with one woman’s pioneering vision to see beauty in what other sheep breeders saw as flaws. In 1983, Fiona Gardner inherited five colored sheep. Traditionally, breeding has favored dyeable white sheep. However, some white sheep carry a recessive gene that produces dark wool, which breeders have ignored. Fiona Gardner was fascinated by these dark-coloured sheep and the variety of natural colors they possessed, and with the help of her family, devoted herself to breeding colored breeds. We have bred a unique flock of sheep with shades of black, gray and brown, capturing all of nature’s hues. This was the beginning of an amazing journey of success. Through her innovation and dedication, she developed a unique knowledge of wool classification and sheep breeding, creating an amazing know-how and laying the foundations for what would become a unique heritage dark-coloured sheep flock. I did. The rare material Pecola Nera® is undyed and natural in color, with the warm natural tones of black, gray and brown merino wool creating a unique natural pattern that is woven into a unique fabric. The Maison creates fabrics from undyed wool fibers, always aiming to emphasize warm, natural tones. For six generations, Loro Piana has been a specialist in transforming this finest fiber with a sensual touch into the most elegant and timeless fabrics, clothing and accessories. In order to consistently create the highest quality garments for our customers, exceptional craftsmanship is essential in every production process. Since 2003, Loro Piana has purchased all of the Gardner family’s dark wool, making it the sole buyer. This is a testament to the long-term personal partnerships the Maison has built with its leading suppliers. Each lot has a unique tone and requires close collaboration between different teams to maintain the natural color of the wool. This is a time-consuming and meticulous process. For the Fall/Winter 2024-2025 season, Loro Piana takes inspiration from historical fabrics made from archival dark wool and reimagines the fabric woven from three layers of yarn. Three strands of wool, each with a different natural hue, are twisted together into a spiral shape, giving the fabric a unique
three-dimensional feel. The result is a fusion of materials, craftsmanship, creativity and technology to create a masterpiece that encapsulates the beauty of Pecola Nera wool. Starting with the Spring/Summer 2025 collection, a traceability service will be introduced for Pecola Nera® garments, allowing customers to track the journey of Pecola Nera® fibers by scanning the QR code on the label.
