I was born in Piedmont, surrounded by fabrics and weaving factories. I deeply love the world of textiles: an emotional, cultural and sensorial legacy that has always been with me. This passion encompasses many things: my father's hands, which carefully analyzed the clothes we children wore, explaining the weave and composition of each fabric, because he himself loved the material and knew every fiber, every weave. Each dress became a story to be told, filled with anecdotes and meanings tied to its color or cut. This dedication came from his grandparents, who were fabric merchants since the late 19th century, and from my grandfather Giuseppe, who opened a silk weaving workshop 1950s. Next to him, my mother, with her natural grace, discreet elegance and refined, personal style, passed on to me the innate art of combining colors and recognizing the harmony of forms.
From my parents and from this journey, both emotional and practical, I inherited manners, values, and interests that guide my sensibilities in everyday life and that I love to translate into my professional projects. I worked for years in the family business, holding various roles and, thanks to this experience, developing a more mature awareness of "reason and emotion" together. Despite my degree in economics and business, my true passions are fabrics, colors, and textile creation. This is how archivio Miroglio was born, and why it represents my way of being and living.
Elisa Miroglio
A contemporary tale born from an archive of times gone by. Starting from the textile memories of a vast and precious personal collection, archivio Miroglio is a brand that interprets original textures and patterns in a contemporary way.
Fabrics, sketches, drawings, and decorative details from the most diverse sources become new textures, precisely defined by stripes, flowers, and polka dots. From prints and jacquards. In a continuous dialogue between form and material, the elements that characterize the fabrics become dresses, jackets, blouses, skirts, and trousers with linear, graceful, and simple shapes. These are feminine garments that stand the test of time:made of high quality, conceived with the finest sobriety in mind, and built to last. These are garments crafted by careful hands, with fabrics designed and produced with care in Italy.
Influences from many parts of the world intertwine with the Savoy roots and a rich and solid cultural heritage that places values such as moderation, truth, and a sense of beauty at the center of everything we do—and everything we do. Thus, a narrative is born, a journey that begins in Alba, passes through Milan, and can reach anywhere.

Discovering, recovering, cataloging, organizing. Wandering through markets, fairs, and antique shops around the world, with curiosity. A personal passion for textile creations and the culture they preserve has led me to define a special archive.
A veritable treasure trove not only of fabrics, but also of sketches, 19th-century books (Italian, French, and English), Deco and Art Nouveau patterns, and sketches from the 1950s and beyond. And also drawings, woven threads, wooden cylinders for fabric printing, embroidered drapes, and curious objects, sometimes unidentified. But all carefully cataloged.
archivio Miroglio, however, is not simply an accumulation of beautiful objects: it is a conceptual container of memories, signs, and styles that span time. It recovers and establishes a dialogue between lost details and knowledge, transforming them into an extremely timely project that unites sustainability, culture, tradition, individuality, and connections. It is a project that puts into practice a guiding motto: “Conserve without being conservative.”
