Founded in 1982 and revitalized in 2010 by the Caucci family, whose textile roots trace back to 1976, Tela Genova is an Italian brand dedicated to the history of denim. The brand’s philosophy is “Contemporary Heritage,” offering a modern interpretation of historical Italian workwear, military, and naval styles. Central to its identity is the use of high-quality, durable fabrics, particularly selvedge denim often sourced from Japan, which are crafted with artisanal techniques to create garments meant to last. The brand name itself is a nod to the origins of jeans, referencing the original “cloth of Genoa.”
