Cavani Cloth House
Premium natural-fibre cloths, woven and finished in short runs — from Super 150s worsteds to Irish linen and Italian wool and cotton.
A family-run cloth house weaving fine worsteds, linens and flannels in short runs from the beam.
Inside the Mills
The warp beam — thousands of ends drawn true before a single pick is thrown.
Founded in 1988 by four Italian designers, Cavani begins with natural fibres chosen for their character and performance. Every length passes through the same rigorous steps — washing, spinning, dyeing, warping, weaving and finishing — before it ever reaches a maker's hands.
We buy in short runs, straight from the beam, so what sits on the shelf is what came off the loom that season. When a cloth is gone, it is gone — which is why our stock list is worth checking before you order.
