Avant Toi was founded in 1994 within the Liapull group by the creative endeavor of Mirko Ghignone, a pioneer in cashmere evolution. He excels in technical experimentation and above all in the absolute innovation of coloring, revolutionizing the world of piece dyeing. Central to this process is the introduction of air-brush coloring that empowers each piece with authenticity and a unique, unrepeatable character. Through infinite combinations of shades and hues, each creation recounts its own particular story.
