Caccioppoli

Caccioppoli, established in 1920 in Naples, Italy, remains a family-run business in the heart of Naples and is one of Italy's leading fabric merchants. I am personally a great admirer of this brand and have recommended it countless times to clients even before starting my own venture.

The greatest charm of Caccioppoli may lie in its quintessential Italian and Neapolitan essence. As a fabric merchant, Caccioppoli doesn't weave its own fabrics but rather commissions mills to do so. However, the direction of their fabrics clearly embodies the distinct Caccioppoli style, which can be equated with Italian elegance. Caccioppoli might well be producing the fabrics that most closely match the image that comes to mind when one thinks of Italian-made materials. Their range extends from dark to light shades, with a remarkable variety of blues - a color highly esteemed in Italy. In fact, when inquiring about recommended fabrics at Caccioppoli, blue is often the first suggestion. Their selection includes vivid accent colors and nuanced shades, reflecting the slightly rebellious yet approachable spirit of Naples. Furthermore, the hues of the fabrics vividly capture the essence of Naples itself, along with its natural landscape of mountains and sea. Caccioppoli is inextricably linked with Naples, embodying its spirit in every way.

While prominently showcasing its distinct Caccioppoli identity, the brand avoids being self-indulgent. In fact, its underlying approach is earnestly focused on providing tailors and customers with the fabrics they need. This constitutes the less visible side of Caccioppoli. They travel globally each season, presenting their new collections while gathering feedback and trend information from retailers, which they then integrate into their next creations. Their willingness to visit even small stores like ours speaks volumes about their sincere commitment. I had the opportunity to interview Vincenzo, the head of the family, during one of their fabric presentations. When asked about what they prioritize in their manufacturing process, he humbly responded that they always strive to offer fabrics that are easy for stores to handle and tailor. This response highlighted the strengths of Caccioppoli.

With a century of heritage, Caccioppoli continues to embody the pure Neapolitan taste while consistently tuning into and aligning with customer needs. Their charm lies in seemingly effortlessly staying on top of trends. This makes Caccioppoli an attractive brand for those seeking the bright colors and light textures characteristic of Southern Italy. It's an ideal choice for those who appreciate not only the technical excellence behind the fabric but also its easy, relaxed feel and atmosphere. Caccioppoli is the go-to fabric brand for anyone looking for a blend of quality craftsmanship and a laid-back, unpretentious vibe.
