BARENA: THE VENICE LAGOON, WHERE IT ALL BEGINS

The Barena is that place of transition, which embraces the city of Venice, not yet sea nor dry land. An enchanted and wild oasis, indomitable and unchanged over the centuries. Mystical, deserted place, now submerged, now silent, of water and bushes in which naturally the essential of oneself is found. Our culture comes from this poetic lagoon world and in particular from the world of work connected to it, from Venice, an island city, for centuries a world reference in fashion and style and an incredible forge of artists, nobles, merchants.

​

​It all started back in 1961 when its founder, Sandro Zara, a Venetian entrepreneur with a particular curiosity for traditional textile, led him to visit the archives of old wool mills in and around the lagoon areas of Venice. He uncovered original patterns and textile books, which eventually became the main source of fabric inspiration for Barena collections.
