Gran Sasso
Gran Sasso stands for Italian knitwear made the traditional way – natural fibres, precise construction and quiet, confident design. Founded in 1952 in Sant’Egidio alla Vibrata, the brand still controls every stage of production in Italy, from spinning and dyeing to linking and finishing. The result is knitwear and luxury casualwear that feels refined on the body and holds its shape season after season.

This collection brings together the core Gran Sasso categories in one place: fine-gauge knits, easy-wearing T-shirts and elevated polos built from cashmere, Extra Fine Merino, silk blends and premium cottons. Pieces are fully fashioned rather than cut from fabric, with seams joined needle by needle using traditional linking techniques. That attention to detail is what separates true Italian knitwear from mass-market alternatives.
If you want the full story behind the brand – its family roots, production philosophy and sustainability programme – you can read our . This page is where you explore the actual range: light summer knits, all-season merino layers and casual pieces that sit comfortably between smart and relaxed. However you build your wardrobe, Gran Sasso is designed to reward long-term wear, not short-term trends.

Is Gran Sasso made in Italy?
Yes — Gran Sasso is made entirely in Italy by Maglificio Gran Sasso S.p.A., founded in 1952 in the Abruzzo region. The brand is one of the few Italian knitwear houses still producing every garment in its original Sant'Egidio alla Vibrata facility, controlling every stage from yarn selection through finishing.
Is Gran Sasso a luxury or fashion brand?
Gran Sasso sits in the Italian premium-knitwear category — sold via specialist independent retailers like OD's rather than department stores or high-street chains. Pricing typically £50–£200 at OD's. The brand focuses on yarn quality (merino-silk blends, mercerised cotton) and Italian construction rather than logo-led branding.
What are the top-selling Gran Sasso pieces at OD's?
