The textile tradition of Prato dates back to ancient times, with skilled artisans working with wool as far back as the Middle Ages. Centuries of tradition and growth have led to a significant diversification of production towards fine fabrics that require the use of high-quality fibres such as virgin wool, cashmere, silk, linen, and cotton.
Thus, Prato has gained a prestigious position in the global textile industry for the quality of its textile products, which are chosen by leading designers of Made in Italy fashion.
Following the great textile tradition of Prato, VERIAN Tessuti a Stock was founded in 1998 by Tomas Nuti, as a company dedicated to third-party production of jacquard knitted fabrics. Over time, the Prato-based company has focused mainly on the marketing of fine stock fabrics, paying particular attention to medium to high-quality fabrics and creating collections of strictly artisanal and "Made in Prato" fabrics at very competitive prices.
