Brunello Cucinelli S.p.A. is an Italian luxury fashion company based in Solomeo, a small village in Umbria, best known for its cashmere. It has been listed on the Milan Stock Exchange since 2012 and sells its collections through its own boutiques, department store concessions and selected wholesale partners.<\/p>\n

The company is in focus after two straight years of double-digit growth. It reported record revenue of about 1.41 billion euros for 2025, up 11.5 percent at constant exchange rates, and expects growth of around 10 percent in 2026.<\/p>\n

Overview and Founding<\/h3>\n

Brunello Cucinelli founded the business in 1978 as a small company that became known for dyeing cashmere. The Kiel Institute for the World Economy notes that it began by selling cashmere sweaters.<\/p>\n

In 1982 the company moved to Solomeo, and in 1985 it bought the village’s 14th-century castle to serve as its headquarters. In 2000 it acquired a factory in the valley below the village and adapted it for production.<\/p>\n

The company presents its model as contemporary humanistic capitalism, which seeks a balance between fair growth and fair profit and stresses the moral and economic dignity of its workers. When the Kiel Institute honoured the founder in 2017, it noted that the company employed about 1,000 families in Umbria.<\/p>\n
