DORIANI CASHMERE: THE HISTORY OF A BRAND

The Doriani brand has two generations behind it that have made style and the most sought-after quality the main entrepreneurial values.
In the 1930s, the first company specialized in the production of elegantly refined belts and braces; creative enough to identify particular patents, designed to make the products of its collections unique and more functional; an example are the belts and suspenders designed for the Navy, equipped with an amphibious container, absolutely waterproof, to house the smoking necessaire.
The second generation is the one that instead gave birth to one of the first clothing companies specialized in the production of outerwear: coats, raincoats, suits, for men and women, with distribution in 24 owned stores scattered throughout northern Italy.

Those were the postwar years, the company was called STORM and was among the few, if not the only one in clothing, to participate in the Milan Trade Fair with its own stand as evidenced by the numerous photographic images that still exist.

The first of the 24 shops was in Milan in via Manzoni, developed on several floors, characterized by an extremely elegant atelier atmosphere, furnished with fine antiques, antique Persian carpets and porcelain.
