loretta caponi

Founded in Florence in 1967, Loretta Caponi began as a small atelier specializing in exquisitely embroidered trousseaus, nightgowns, and linens. The founder, who learned to embroider at age nine, built a reputation among European royalty and socialites for her mastery of traditional craftsmanship, particularly the historic "catenella" chain stitch. Today, the family-run brand has evolved from its couture lingerie roots into a ready-to-wear house under the creative direction of Loretta's daughter, Lucia Caponi. The collections feature romantic, free-flowing dresses, blouses, and children's wear that retain the brand's signature artisanal details, such as intricate smocking and delicate lacework on fine cottons, silks, and linens.
