The family’s wool factory, Faliero Sarti, is one of the producers of fabrics that represents the real Made in Italy since 1948s and where Monica got her passion for the craft as a child. It was impossible for her not to be infected by the smells of wool manufacturing process, from the dense fragrance oils to the machinery and yarn that make up the warehouse of the mill. At around the age of twenty Monica went to New York, where she worked first for Anne Klein and Donna Karan. Then, in the early 1990s Monica begins to discover the world of scarves, replacing the heaviness with softness as she experimented with is boiling, burning, even puncturing cashmere. After several attempts, the final result was surprisingly light and the Faliero Sarti scarf began to carve out a place of honor as an indispensable accessory soon becoming synonymous with quality, innovation and research.
