BottegaChilometriZero was founded in 2006 in Pove del Grappa, a small town in Veneto located just 5 km from Bassano del Grappa (VI).
Since its foundation, it has established itself as the beating heart of a “zero kilometer” supply chain, with the aim of combining a global aesthetic with a local and highly controlled production process.
Thanks to a network of local partnerships, BottegaChilometriZero is able to manage all the stages of production necessary to create its collections, keeping the entire production cycle within a radius of 150 km from its headquarters.
From the design of the garments, carried out in our in-house studio, to the final finishing details, every step reflects our commitment to quality, sustainability, and the promotion of local craftsmanship.

A natural philosophy of life and business
Why relocate production elsewhere when we have the best textile manufacturing at our fingertips?
This reflection gave rise to the cornerstone principle of our corporate identity: promoting the local area and supporting local businesses through a short supply chain, based on partnerships with excellent suppliers and highly experienced professionals.
A production model that not only guarantees quality and control, but also strengthens the link with the artisanal roots of our tradition.
One of the fundamental pillars of our philosophy is “slow is fast.”
Slow, because every stage of the production process, from the design of the garments in our studio to the finishing of the product, takes place within a radius of 150 km, following principles of sustainability aimed at reducing environmental impact and preserving local resources.
Fast, because our garments, in addition to standing out for the high quality of their materials and workmanship, are characterized by a unique and immediately recognizable aesthetic, capable of leaving a distinctive mark.
The 7 production steps
Design – 0km – POVE DEL GRAPPA (VI)
Research and creativity are the first artistic steps that must be combined with strong technical know-how for the construction of the garment.
Weaving – 36km – THIENE (VI)
The fabrics are made with the finest yarns and the most advanced techniques. A Bottega branded product maintains the same qualifying properties after each wash.
Cutting – 27km – SANTA GIUSTINA (PD)
Precision and automation. The welding of the mattress fabric allows to cut a large number of pieces at the same time.
Printing – 29Km – CARTIGLIANO (VI)
This can be done on the cut end or on the packaged end, depending on the desired effect.
Packaging – 100km – VILLANOVA DEL GHEBBO (RO)
This consists of assembling the cut pieces using different types of stitching in order to obtain the finished garment.
Finishing – 30km – SARCEDO (VI)
The “finish” includes all the processes necessary to give the fabric certain tactile qualities. Particular attention is paid to the use of water to avoid any waste.
Ironing – 24km – CAERANO SAN MARCO (TV)
The final stage of the production process involves applying labels and tags, ironing, folding, and packaging.
