Still Here

The way we build, move, work and live has continuously shaped the way we design textiles. Every decade leaves its mark—not only on architecture, culture and design, but also on the fabrics that define how we dress.

For almost a century, Riopele has evolved alongside the world around it.

STILL HERE revisits this journey through ten distinctive fabric themes, inspired by Riopele's archive and reinterpreted through a contemporary perspective. From timeless tweeds to technical stretch fabrics, each chapter reflects the spirit of its era while celebrating the craftsmanship, innovation and expertise that have defined Riopele for almost 100 years.

At the heart of the collection stands our mill, where nearly a century of textile knowledge continues to evolve. It is here that heritage meets innovation, transforming tradition into fabrics designed for the future.
