Filippo De Laurentiis

Filippo De Laurentiis makes knitwear for men and women, working with fine yarns from Italian mills. The pieces are built around essential silhouettes and clean, refined lines, designed to be versatile enough to wear through the whole day. The knitwear is made in Italy by a family-run outfit in Abruzzo, and The Local Merchants stocks it in the UK. Expect lightweight crepe cotton, soft linen blends and knitwear with a bit of structure, the sort of thing that suits smarter days but stays easy enough for everything else. The brand also runs Spazio Effimero, a members' area with benefits and services for people who care about quality, craftsmanship and attention to detail.
