Any advice on what brands make jumpers similar to BRUNELLO CUCINELLI or Loro piana?

[frasiercranes]

I just mean brands that have similar aesthetics or designs

 

[Phileas Fogg]

Not sure what you mean. Both make a pretty basic crewneck, v-neck and turtleneck.

Almost any brand will make something similar.

Is there something specific from either brand that you’re curious about?

I love the shades and classy designs of brunello‘s sweaters However don’t like the quality of their stuff. I’m looking for brands that make classic jumpers with understated designs. I am attaching some for your reference.

Eleventy is effectively knockoff Brunello. Is generally available on sale at yoox or your standard NM, Saks, etc

Wait, you don't like the quality of Cucinelli's stuff? Zegna and Brooks Brothers make what you're looking for (Canali too), but I don't believe you're going to find better quality than BC or LP...

Yup looks like an exact copy without the pedigree. It’s even more expensive than cucinelli lol

I don't know where you're looking but it's generally 30% of the cost.

I don’t like any of the brands that you mentioned. i have worked with luxury brands in the past and all these are brands catering to the new riches in my country. I have talked to some of the top zegna and Canali clients in my country and they were all very very arrogant, trashy men who unfortunately knew about only these two brands as they think of them to be the best of what Italy has to offer due to the extensive marketing campaigns that these brands indulge in.

Loro piana is in a different class altogether but I dont generally favour brands that are owned by lvmh. I rather spend money on independent
i don’t want to sound conceited but I generally stay away from brands like Burberry, zegna, Gucci, lV, Prada, Canali, Paul smith etc etc.
if Im paying 500 pounds for a sweater I rather not go in for zegna.

im looking for brands like finamore, malo, pringle etc with cucinelli type designs

who cares? buy what you like at the price you can afford and what offers good value. In the states zegna always offers a great discount during sale sometimes up to 70% off. I think that's value... if you want to support independent tailors craftsmen that's great, maybe buy some knitwear from https://shop.anderson-sheppard.co.uk/knitwear
How about john elliott or thom browne?

Cucinelli does quite a bit for his community; including building museums, parks, schools, and creating good working conditions, including pay, for his employees. As far as ethos is concerned, his business is run much closer to an independent than a large corporate conglomerate.

 

[papado]

Malo, Cruciani, and Svevo Parma should be in that quality bracket.

I echo the above about how BC does great stuff outside of just producing clothes like a large conglomerate so I wouldn't group them with your Guccis of the world.

 

[bry2000]

The quality of Cucinelli sweaters is excellent. I have some Cucinelli sweaters that are 15 years old and have never pilled and, frankly, still look new.

If you want an alternative, check out The Row. Quality is outstanding.

I have dealt with Malo and they seem to be doing terribly financially. I think they will go down.

A and S is good. I will check their new designs out. You won't believe it but Zegna offers a Max of 25 percent discount on sales in my country. So does canali as both of them have the same partner here. I went to the canali store in my city the other day and shirts start at 350 dollars here. Outrageous considering what their real price point abroad is.
As I said people here exclusively shop from Zegna and canali and don't know anything about any other brands. Cucinelli has recently opened but since we have large import duties the polo that I bought in Milan for 290 euros is selling at 500 euros. Totally unacceptable.
