When it comes to the world’s most prestigious fabric brands, Vitale Barberis Canonico (VBC) is always among the first names mentioned. Originating in 1663 in Biella, the heart of Italy’s wool industry, VBC is not just a textile mill but a living icon of Italian craftsmanship and refinement.
With over 360 years of family heritage, Vitale Barberis Canonico remains owned and operated by the same family—a rarity in the global textile industry. At their Pratrivero mill, VBC oversees the entire value chain: from selecting the finest Merino wool in the world to weaving, dyeing, and finishing, all adhering to the highest standards of quality, craftsmanship, and sustainability.
VBC doesn’t just produce fabric—they embody the Italian spirit: elegant, natural beauty with profound depth. This has made VBC a trusted partner of the world’s leading tailors and the top choice for gentlemen who value timeless standards infused with emotion.
At VBS Tailor, Vitale Barberis Canonico fabrics are the perfect introduction to the bespoke tailoring journey. A suit crafted from VBC not only showcases refined taste but also represents an investment in enduring style—light, sophisticated, and always above fleeting trends.
