Our History

The story of ALTEX begins with our father, Edoardo Palli. It was 1960 when, driven by a passion for quality and craftsmanship, he decided to launch a small production of men's and women's clothing in a workshop in Parma. From the beginning, our father had a clear vision: to create something unique, capable of embodying the elegance and excellence of Italian style. With fine yarns and expert hands, he laid the foundations of what is now our brand. Shortly thereafter, he decided to move the workshop to Torgiano, Umbria, a region he knew well for its ancient textile traditions and the extraordinary expertise of its local artisans. From then on, the company's history has been intertwined with that of the Umbrian region, drawing inspiration and strength from a culture rooted in quality craftsmanship. We are proud to say that we carry on our father's dream with the same care and dedication that he always had. Over three generations, we have selected the finest yarns and embraced the most advanced techniques, remaining faithful to our desire to maintain the highest quality standards.

Where Craftsmanship Comes to Life

Behind every ALTEX piece are the hands of artisans and master knitters who work with passion and precision. Every stage of production is meticulously crafted, and each piece is rigorously hand-checked to ensure flawlessness. All our garments are born from a desire to maintain a classic style enriched with a refined, contemporary elegance.

The Unique Nature of Cashmere

Cashmere is one of the world's most prized natural fibers, known for its exceptional softness, lightness, and ability to retain warmth without weighing you down. Each cashmere garment feels enveloping and luxurious against the skin, making it ideal for any season and a timeless addition to your wardrobe. To guarantee our customers superior quality, we rely on the finest spinning mills such as Cariaggi, Loro Piana, and Todd & Duncan. These companies, with whom we have collaborated for many years, are synonymous with excellence and work exclusively with select raw materials, subjecting their yarns to rigorous quality controls.
Cashmere is obtained from the undercoat of the Capra hircus, a goat native to the mountainous regions of Asia. It is harvested once a year, during the spring moult, when the goats shed the soft undercoat that protects them from the winter cold. The difficulty of harvesting and the rarity of the fiber make cashmere an exclusive and precious product.
