Passmanterie is one of the most ancient known textile industries. In ancient times it was extremely popular in the East and it's said to have arrived in Europe (in Italy before than in other countries) during the Arabic conquests. However, most likely it already existed in our country, as all civilizations develop this art according to their own aesthetic taste for clothes and interior design. The raw materials used in our manufacture are exclusively natural and vegetal fibres, such as silk, cotton, wool, hemp, rayon, viscose, and novafil, in the most appropriate colours. Our production consists of two distinct branches:

1- Entirely handmade passamanterie, a tradition going back to 1700, which we are proud to continue. Making still use of looms preset for manual operation, we are able to achieve the most faithful reproduction of fringes, brassards, cords and agremans of any making, height or size, upon the customer's request. Our products adorn the most distinguished houses, created by famous architects, and the major theatres, such as La Scala in Milan.

2- Mechanical passamanterie and serial production of brims, agremans, cords, fringes, brassards and bows (along with a well-stocked store), allow us to meet the requirements of all customers looking for high-quality products and trimmings.

The company FIGLI DI CARLO MONTI s.n.c. and its joint partner DOMUS s.n.c. are well-known on the Italian market: our cooperation with interior designers, directors, architects, costume designers, upholsterers, fashion designers, window dressers and specialists in decorations is well appreciated. Our professionality results from a unique blending of creativity, expertise, research and insight. And professionality is the best guarantee for the high-quality of our products. We don't limit ourselves to the manufacture of passamanterie products of superior quality and to the production upon request, but we also constantly innovate and enlarge our sample sets. We believe that passamanterie plays a very important role in the interior design field. Our products decorate and embellish several of the most prestigious theatres both in Italy and abroad, such as La Scala in Milan, the Teatro Carignano in Turin, the Opéra in Paris and the theatre in Rijeka. Our passamanterie is able to satisfy the different requirements of all types of customers, and our constant objective is to provide the best possible quality in all situations
