Il Filo d’Autore is a small but precious craft reality, a family business based in Imola, in the province of Bologna: a knitting workshop founded and managed by two sisters, Cristina and Eugenia Benassi, who share a great passion for knitwear and handmade.
For over 30 years these two knitters have been weaving fine yarns and fibres to give life to durable and unique garments, 100% Made in Italy, crafted with great consideration toward the environment.
The Benassi sisters personally oversee each step in the making of their creations, with meticulous attention to detail: their work is based on slow and eco-friendly processing and driven by the pursuit of meaning and beauty. Their knitwear garments are meant to enhance the personality of those who wear them, lasting them a lifetime. Each garment can be in fact customized in every detail, including hand-embroidered initials, and can also be entirely made-to-measure to ensure an optimal fit.

Eugenia and Cristina work with the firm delicacy and unflinching precision of yesteryear. The quality of their fabrics is undeniable; they give a sensation to the touch that we are no longer used to. The value of a well-made garment, which effortlessly stands the test of time and which, if well cared for, can continue to tell its story to several generations. Also to be appreciated is the effort made by Eugenia and Cristina to support the Italian market for quality yarn, without giving in to compromise; a system that nurtures the fruit of an all-Italian value chain, which is transformed into an heirloom to be enjoyed every day with pride, class and much joy!
