The company was founded by the Lardini family in 1978 in Filottrano, a town in the Ancona Province of Italy.[2] It is famous for manufacturing men's tailoring for brands Dolce & Gabbana, Salvatore Ferragamo, Versace, Valentino, Etro and Burberry.[3] Lardini produces a ready to wear tailoring line, which is retailed at its showroom in Milan and three monobrand boutiques outside Italy.[4]

Luigi Lardini is its current creative director; his garments can be distinguished by a signature lapel flower constructed from wool.[3]
