Alanui was established in 2016. Its founder, Nicolò Oddi, together with her sister and her muse Carlotta, grew up just outside of Milan and had contact with fashion from an early age. Inspired by original designs from the 1970s found at a flea market in Pasadena, they decided to create a brand that offers timeless, emotion-charged garments that pay tribute to artisanal traditions. Each product is hand-knitted from Italian cashmere in an 11-hour process and then embellished with intricate embroidery, crochet patterns and fringing. The collections for women consist of iconic cardigans, cut-outs and jackets flaunting jacquard beltss and constitute an example of diversified wardrobe staples intended to be the perfect travel companions.
