about
C.P. Company began manufacturing Italian casual wear with the idea of bringing traditional clothing elements back into a man�s wardrobe. Since then they have gone onto produce over 40,000 garments, each piece reflecting C.P. Company�s philosophy � Function and Use.
Sportswear Company, a historical company in the scenario of Italian casual wear manufacturers, started off in 1974 under the name �Chester Perry�. At the end of the Seventies it became C.P. Company and growth followed accompanied by clear-cut success: that of Boneville and Stone Island joined the historic label.
Towards the mid-Eighties the company was taken over by Rabaldo Togna and by GFT and, with the arrival of Carlo Rivetti as Managing Director in 1989, the sportswear activity of GFT got underway with the name of Sportswear Company.
In 1993, following the selling off policy adopted by GFT, Sportswear Company was taken over entirely by Rivetex, the financial company held by Cristina Rivetti and her brother Carlo, with Carlo Rivetti as president.
The present portfolios of collections that Sportswear Company are manufacturing and developing are C.P. Company, Stone Island, Stone Island Denims, C.P. Company Donna and C.P. Company Children.
The Look
The design and creation of C.P. Company clothing originates from their interest and research into military uniforms and work suits and more recently emphasis has fallen on the evolution of urban city wear. The main attraction of this type of clothing is the way in which function and wearability is combined with elegance and comfort.
C.P. Company design also focuses on the use of technical properties, either added to the fabric or the finished garment. For example, the use of large pockets, smog masks and heavy durable materials are all created carefully to suit specific situations.
One of C.P. Company�s main aims has been to produce garments, which are exclusively individual, using new fabrics and finishes. This is achieved from continual experimentation with different weaves, fabrics and colours. The company uses advanced creative technology � new found raw materials are dyed, printed on, coated, washed and treated, all in ways to find the ultimate C.P. Company product.
C.P. Company unites technology and knows how with human resources with the aim of maintaining coats and outerwear, knitwear, shirts and trousers all with one unique look.
In this day and age where clothing is seen as a form of personal identity, C.P. Company believes that their philosophy has become more actual � Function and Use has become a symbol of individuality, style and as always functionality.
