History

"I founded Il Gufo in 1980 when my 3 children all under 5 years old were going to kindergarden. I while waiting for them to come home amused myself with my sewing machine by making bibs and "jabots" with collars edged in all colours. Working in a big glass-house, surrounded by the green Asolo hills, I watched the initial results double from season to season.
After a few years we needed more space and we were very lucky in finding a fabulous site which we prepared in the same style as our previous "nest". With sales continually increasing every season we have now grown to a substantial size. We pride ourselves on producing unique hand-made articles with the same care and skill as before.
We ensure the highest quality, which has always been our trademark. We use almost exclusively natural fibres and carefully selected fabrics which often receive special finishing and are specially dyed for us with highly imaginative colours and refinements.
The products are designed and realized right in front of our eyes".
