Bonus Episode: Inside Thomas Mason’s extraordinary archive
Manage episode 311636172 series 3161422
In the second of our two bonus episodes created in partnership with Thomas Mason, the HandCut team explores the brand’s unique fabric archive filled with over 800 leather-bound fabric catalogues dating to the 18th and 19th centuries, and held in a temperature controlled library by the Albini Group in Italy.
In addition, Aleks chats to Maurizio Colnago, Thomas Mason’s head of fabric design, about how this extraordinary archive informs Thomas Mason’s fabric collections today, and he meets with Daniele Arioldi, the CEO of Albini’s spinning division, to learn about some of the rare and precious fibres that Thomas Mason weaves into its luxury shirting fabrics.
To get an insight into this remarkable Anglo-Italian heritage brand was a privilege, and we hope that you’ll enjoy this journey into the world of fine shirt fabrics. Do check out our Instagram feed, @handcutradio, for some original behind-the-scenes photography, and some short films we shot during our visit.
