Herno was founded in 1948 in Lesa, on the shores of Lake Maggiore, by Giuseppe Marenzi and his wife Alessandra Diana. In the 2000s the brand passed in the hands of Claudio Marenzi that applied his breakthrough vision, starting in the past, in that golden age where the Herno brand was visible all over the world of fashion and luxury tailoring, but applying new standards.
Since 2016 the hub of research and development has centred on the eco-environmental trial tests and innovations in the field of production processes and of the product. The Company invested in new machinery and in the project of traceability of its garments, starting from the yarn and ending with the finished jackets and its launch on the market. Herno’s President, Claudio Marenzi's intention is not to restrict the projects of sustainability to a mere declaration of aims – sure it’s necessary to avoid speaking of sustainability for a pure media purpose - but rather to act and evolve the industrial processes describing the product in a clear way, bringing the company, the employees and the final consumer to the awareness of environmental issues.
