Research & Development
Technical expertise, creative vision, continuous support
At Notorius, research and development are the starting point of every project.
We work closely with our clients, providing tailored support with the goal of unlocking the full technical and aesthetic potential of every creation.
The client is always at the center of the process. Our team ensures fast execution, production flexibility, and high quality standards, supporting every stage from the initial idea to the final product development.
With more than fifty years of experience in knit manufacturing, we have developed deep knowledge of materials, structures, and production techniques.
This expertise allows us to provide targeted technical consulting, suggesting the best solutions to enhance each collection.
Yarn Stock & Fast Service
We maintain a large in-house yarn stock, allowing us to offer a fast and reliable service.
Our yarn compositions range from noble and premium fibers to high-performance technical yarns, carefully selected to meet the needs of the luxury sector in both apparel and footwear.
Experimentation is part of our daily work: new structures, new subtleties, new balances.
For us, research is not just a department — it is a way of working.
Knit Accessories
Tradition, innovation and total quality control
The knit accessory is a distinctive element capable of defining the identity of a collection.
Our technologically advanced machinery allows us to create any type of knitting structure, at any subtleties, interpreting:
- classic and timeless knit stitches
- complex structures and intricate jacquards
- technical yarns and premium-quality fibers
Each accessory results from a careful balance between aesthetics, functionality, and material performance, meeting the standards required by luxury apparel and footwear brands.
In-House Production
All processes are carried out entirely within Notorius.
This allows us to maintain direct control over every production stage, ensuring consistent quality, precision, and high standards.
In the world of luxury, an accessory is not just a detail — it is a signature element.
Knit Uppers
A technical language that becomes style
Knit uppers represent one of Notorius’ key areas of specialization.
Over time, they have become a well-established and recognized element in the world of high-end footwear.
Through our experience and continuous technical research, we develop knit uppers that combine comfort, structure, and aesthetic identity, adapting to different types of footwear:
- loafers and classic models
- contemporary sneakers
- comfortable ballet flats
- structured and impactful boot shafts
Each project begins with an in-depth study of yarn, tension, elasticity, and final performance, allowing us to create knit uppers distinguished by uniqueness and unmistakable style.
