Pre-Owned Loro Piana: Authenticated Ready-to-Wear, Leather Goods & Accessories | Old Fashioned Club

Some houses never announce their luxury — they let it be felt in the hand, worn on the shoulders, recognised by those who know. Loro Piana belongs to that discreet aristocracy of dress, the very name now synonymous with quiet luxury. At Old Fashioned Club, a Parisian pre-owned luxury boutique founded in 2017, we curate a selection of second-hand Loro Piana — ready-to-wear, leather goods and accessories — each one authenticated by our experts and accompanied by its certificate of authenticity.

The heritage of an Italian house built on rare fibres

The Loro Piana story began as a family trade: wool merchants from the early nineteenth century, rooted in Trivero in the Piedmont region. In 1924, Pietro Loro Piana, an engineer, formally founded the company in Quarona. Across the generations — Franco in the 1940s, then Sergio and Pier Luigi from the 1970s — the house turned textile mastery into a global signature of luxury. A specialist in cashmere, vicuña, merino wool and linen, Loro Piana built its reputation on an obsession with raw material long before the garment itself. In 2013, the LVMH group acquired a majority stake, with the family retaining part of the company.

Iconic lines and signature materials

Loro Piana's genius lives in its fibres. Baby Cashmere, combed from the underfleece of young Hircus goats, requires the yield of several animals for a single sweater. Vicuña — a wild Andean camelid that can only be shorn every two to three years — remains one of the rarest fibres on earth. The Gift of Kings, an exceptional merino wool, takes its name from the old practice of Spanish sovereigns gifting merino sheep to seal alliances. In footwear, the Summer Walk loafer, introduced in 2005 and inspired by the family's love of sailing, became a true icon, later joined by its Open Walk counterpart. Scarves, soft leather-and-cashmere totes and timeless knitwear complete a wardrobe recognised by its restraint rather than any logo.

What you will find at Old Fashioned Club

Our pre-owned selection spans the full breadth of the Loro Piana world. In ready-to-wear: cashmere sweaters and cardigans, overshirts, and wool-and-cashmere coats that drape beautifully. In accessories: scarves and stoles, beanies, gloves and, of course, the celebrated loafers. In leather goods, supple bags and totes round out the look. Because every consignment is unique, we invite you to discover the pieces currently available, and to explore our wider edit of pre-owned luxury bags to build a coherent, refined silhouette.

Why buy Loro Piana second-hand

Choosing pre-owned Loro Piana brings together excellence and good sense. The house designs garments made to last: a baby cashmere knit or a virgin wool coat ages gracefully because its elegance owes nothing to passing trends. Buying second-hand grants access to these exceptional materials at a fair price, while placing the purchase within a sustainable-fashion mindset. Extending the life of a fine piece honours the craftsmanship it embodies and lightens the footprint of a wardrobe — an approach, in truth, deeply faithful to the spirit of the house itself.

Authentication tips

A genuine Loro Piana piece reveals itself in the details. First, the hand of the material: a distinctive softness and weight, with no roughness or synthetic feel. Then the labels, whose typography, stitching and composition should be clean and consistent; some pieces name signature fibres such as baby cashmere or vicuña. The finishing — buttons, hems, linings — reflects unwavering care. On Summer Walk loafers, examine the quality of the suede, the supple sole and the even stitching. When in doubt, trust the experts: that is precisely what our house is here for.
