The new Il Gufo collection for Fall Winter 2022/2023 is inspired by the northern lights. It all begins with a sea voyage to the boreal lands: the colours of the icy water mix with the cold tones of the cliffs, but also with the orange and yellow ochre of the small houses that one glimpses when landing at dawn in an imaginary harbour.

We have always collaborated with Italian and international excellences to create unique garments that tell a story. What has come about between Il Gufo and Artetica, an Apulian company specialised in hand embroidery, is much more than a project, it’s itself the expression of a synergy between two realities located in the North and South of Italy but with a very strong connection on a common value base.

Over the years we have selected numerous environmentally friendly filling alternatives, among them Ecodown by Comfortemp®, Valtherm® and Sorona® by Dupont®. Ecodown and Valtherm® are polyester fillings with a high percentage of recycled material: softness and fill power are fully comparable to down. Sorona®, on the other hand, is a polyester filling made from 37% plant-based materials.

A percentage of the cotton used in the collection is certified organic cotton fibre. The garments made by organic cotton are marked with the appropriate label, which is a guarantee of the organic origin of the cotton, as well as the production process of the raw material.
