Agnona, one of the companies in the Ermenegildo Zegna Group, is a leader in the production of garments made from the finest fibers: alpaca from Peru, cashmere and camel's hair from Tibet and from China, and vicuña, a fabric that was at one time only fit for kings. Founded in 1953 by Francesco Ilorini Mo in Borgosesia, in 1999 the Ermengildo Zegna Group took control of the company. An icon of the brand is the alpaca fabric Spazzolino, launched in the 1970s.
