Story & heritage
Herno began in Lesa, Piedmont in 1948 as an outerwear specialist shaped by Lake Maggiore weather; the official Iconico collection gathers the Ultralight down shapes the brand says made Herno successful.
Elsa Cape belongs to that Iconico family, whose women's pieces take names from Lake Maggiore villas. Official copy describes the Chantilly version as I am Elsa — casual in style, sophisticated at heart. An exclusive technology involving 20-denier Japanese nylon and exquisite 90/10 injected down padding for an even lighter feel.
