The picturesque north-western Italian town of Lesa, nestled in the Erno Valley, is home to the Herno family business, a business founded by Giuseppe Marenzi when he was just 24 years old, and that has been producing clothing and accessories since the mid 20th century. Herno specialises in waterproof fabrics, which are transformed into innovative and functional outerwear with a body-hugging fit, designed for urban environments.
The art of combining function and finesse has long been something of an Italian speciality, and Herno is considered by many to be the country's foremost name in outerwear.
