"Linen is the fabric of dreamers because it trusts
it lets the rain alone water it and the chaos draw the map of its folds. Linen is the fabric of dreamers because it belongs to a different time: impalpable but eternal, which returns like summer.
Linen is the fabric of all who believe in their dream, a faith that gathers in the clouds rather than in the cathedrals. And the clouds are the temples of dreamers because they are made of linen: iridescent, light, airy, candid but never to the point of lying."
Enrico Dal Buono for 120% Lino
120% Lino, the Story
120% Lino was born in 1983 from the meeting of two dreamers: the designer Alberto Peretto and Fitzcarraldo, the protagonist of director Werner Herzog’s masterpiece, a visionary hero who iconized the deepest of human motivations in his famous saying:
"It’s only the dreamers who ever move mountains”.
He iconized the linen itself too, thanks to his dinstinguished deconstructed jacket which has defined the style of the most brilliant intellectuals for decades.
Linen is the fabric of all who believe in their dream
For more than 40 years Alberto Peretto has made dreams palpable with the resilient material of an uncompromising fibre:
Ecological, because its plant doesn't need to be irrigated.
Sustainable, because at the end of the cycle it is naturally biodegradable.
Elegant, because its indomitable ripples give life to garments that are charismatic in their essentiality.
