Italy, Prato 2017 – Beste

Beste is located in Prato, Italy. Beste produces for companies like Massimo Dutti, Zara, D&G, Armani and Ferragama. Next to this they produce for their own brand named Monovi. Beste is specialised in producing seamless outerwear. First the patterns are glued together with ultrasound and after this a tape is thermally glued on the seams. This method of making seamless clothing was really impressive and precision is required. I also learned a lot about different kind of machines used in a factory, for example the Giggermachine that is used for dying an entire roll of fabric at once.
