The snow-covered peaks of the southern Alps form a beautiful backdrop to the village of Costa Masnaga, located north of Milan in the Lombardy region. This small village has been the home of textile manufacturer Limonta since the company was founded in 1893.
Limonta originally focused on making intricate jacquard weaves for upholstery. Its production still includes home textiles, but also fabrics and materials for apparel, shoes, and accessories, as well as wallpaper and even artificial grass.
The company’s rich heritage is embodied by an extensive archive, holding thousands and thousands of cuttings from all fabrics ever produced by Limonta. It is a unique and captivating collection, worthy of any museum. The archive dates back to the late 19th century and also contains original, often hand-painted, sketches of the jacquard patterns.
To be able to expand its business, Limonta has moved to modern facilities outside of its home village. The factories are high-tech and cover all stages from design to weaving, printing, and finishing, and also have their own laboratory where tests and development are performed.
The company’s two weaving plants house around 300 looms for both jacquards and plain weaves, which run 24 hours a day, six days a week. However, with respect and loyalty to its beginnings, Limonta still has its base and head office in the centre of Costa Masnaga.

On craft as continuum
Notes|June 2025
Textile traditions often carry more than technique – holding memory, care, and everyday acts of creativity. At the intersection of past and present, and amid a renewed interest in the handmade, craft becomes a way of remembering and passing on the knowledge handed down through generations.
