Reaffirming its commitment to excellence in sport and celebrating its sailing heritage, Loro Piana is delighted to announce that the Maison will be the official Title Sponsor of the 71st edition of the Giraglia Regatta, a legendary race that has become one of the most important in top-level Mediterranean sailing.

It is a significant moment that echoes the House’s values of tradition, fair play and excellent performance.
Damien Bertrand, CEO of Loro Piana states: “There has always been a very strong connection between Loro Piana and sailing.
We share many common values: tradition, passion – or should I say obsession – for excellence, for perfection, for perseverance… even more so through the lens of the Giraglia Regatta. Sailing means contact with nature, but also research: it is an extraordinary open-air laboratory that has always been exploited by Loro Piana to experiment with the best performing and most innovative solutions.”

This year, Pier Luigi Loro Piana, Deputy Chairman of the Maison, with crew will participate in the Giraglia Regatta aboard his boat My Song: The Loro Piana family passion for sailing has always been important, it is part of the House’s DNA and aligns with the Maison’s ethos, continually striving to create elegant and versatile garments that seamlessly transition from sea to city life.
