66% Premium Merino Wool by Zegna Baruffa Lane Borgosesia and 34% Premium Hemp by Opera Campi.
They are woven together through a new technique we call "Flex".
best wool since 1850
Zegna Baruffa Lane Borgosesia spins the finest wool, since 1850. So we have chosen one of their best yarns: the Extra Fine Merino Wool.
It's sourced from the wild Australian farms, 100% spinned in Italy. The production process is exclusive, for this reason we have chosen the original Merino Wool by Zegna Baruffa Lane Borgosesia.

Never feel cold, never feel warm, just feel fine.
Lanapa is just a new step into what we call "Natural Futurism", where technology meets nature and improves our lives.
Merino Wool and Hemp are among the most insulating natural fibres. Their combination provides and unparalleled natural wellness in any temperature.
the finest hemp
While we sourced Wool from the suppliers we trust, the Hemp component of "Lanapa" is obviously the material you have always worn: the "Canapa" by Opera Campi, the finest and softest Hemp ever spinned.
a brilliant result
Opera Campi "Canapa" and Zegna Baruffa Lane Borgosesia Wool yarns are merged together by applying a new technique invented by Opera Campi. We called it "Flex".
Winter was the only season we couldn't cover with our previous fabric.
Lanapa is our solution combines the warmth of wool with natural Hemp thermo-regulation.
The result is a versatile fabric for the Winter season.
about animal fabrics
Animal-sourced fabrics should not be demonized if they create jobs, animals are not mistreated and it even save the endangered species.
A serious issue we had with this fabric was dyeing. Traditional dyeing techniques were not solid enough and the final color looked "faded".
Our dyeing experts overturned years of knowledge to create a new technique to dye, in one single yarn, both Hemp and Merino Wool. Through a new process, we obtained a cheaper but better dyeing.
