RB26 is a contemporary company deeply rooted in the tradition of Italian manufacturing. Its story began on January 18, 1962, in Ponte a Moriano, with the founding of “Berrettificio, Cappellificio Manifatture e Confezioni Serchio.”
Over the years, the company has evolved through changes in ownership and identity, while remaining true to what it does best: creating knit accessories with expertise, precision, and authentic craftsmanship.
For decades, hundreds of people from the surrounding area helped build a unique heritage of skill and experience, developing the artisanal know-how behind the art of hat-making that still represents a distinctive value of the Lucca region today. A manufacturing identity shaped away from major industrial hubs and grown through creativity, dedication, and a strong culture of craftsmanship.
Today, RB26 continues its evolution in a new headquarters: a larger, modern, and perfectly organized space designed to enhance every stage of the workflow. A cutting-edge environment that reflects not only the company’s growth in scale, but also the evolution of its production — expanding over time from accessories to knitwear garments, with an increasingly strong focus on quality, efficiency, and innovation.
Between the understated elegance of the city of Lucca and the energy of its surrounding mountain areas, the company continues to express the values that have always defined it: experience, creativity, and attention to detail. A vision that blends tradition and innovation, turning every product into an authentic expression of Italian craftsmanship excellence.
