  1. Cashmere Factories

    Approx 20 mins drive there are a couple of wonderful cashmere factories – including Lamberto Losani and Rocco Ragni.

  2. Artisanal ceramics - Deruta

    This is a famous town, dedicated to pottery and there are many wonderful shops and factories which you can visit to watch the process and buy the ceramics. Most shops will ship internationally. Each different type will teach you something of this special talent: in Perugia they still weave fabrics that bear the city's Grifo, or gryphon, symbol and geometric Renaissance patterns; in Città di Castello and Montefalco fine hand-woven fabrics are made; in Panicale they still practice embroidery on tulle, which was introduced in the early 1900s; and in Assisi they have the Assisi Point, which the sisters of St. Claire were already making in the 1200s, a heritage they say was left to them by the Copts.

  3. Weaving, lace and embroidery

    Weaving and working with fabrics has always been a very popular activity all over Umbria, and a wide variety of types and techniques have always been found here. Much of this activity can date it origins to the XII century. Hand-woven textiles, like table cloths and napkins, were a very successful enterprise and over time these items became famous all over Europe thanks to the specialised techniques used and the original decorations they were graced with.
