Clemson Students Visit Brunello Cucinelli Factory

Wednesday, July 13th, 2011

Clemson students visited the high end cashmere brand Brunello Cucinelli. B. Cucinelli factory is located in Solomeo, a 20 minutes from Perugia, a beautiful village surrounded by sunflower fields.

Over the past thirty years, as his company has grown from a one-man operation to a business employing five hundred people, with an annual turnover of more than two hundred million dollars, Cucinelli has been renovating Solomeo. It was really interesting visiting the backstage of such a company with an annual turnover of more than two hundred million dollars.

Read more from The New Yorker and visit the Cucinelli website — where you can find also an online store in which to spend all of your summer savings.
