Morpho + Luna is woven from a legacy of elegance, craftsmanship, and quiet strength. At its heart is founder Cécile Gavazzi, whose life and work are shaped by a rich tapestry of cultural and familial heritage.

 

Born to a French mother and an Italian father, Cécile grew up between languages, landscapes, and traditions. Her time in Milan, Paris, and London infuses the brand with a nuanced blend of European sensibilities. This distinctive perspective is central to Morpho + Luna’s identity.

 

From an early age, Cécile was encouraged to appreciate the beauty of heritage and the value of craftsmanship, principles that would later become the foundation of her work.

 

The Gavazzi family’s history in textiles stretches back to the early 18th century in Valmadrera, near Lake Como, where they began producing and trading silk. Over generations, they became pioneers of Italy’s silk industry, renowned not only for their refined fabrics but also for their forward-thinking practices. By the 19th century, the Gavazzi silk mills were among Italy’s largest employers and key players in global trade, notably through the early importation of Japanese silk and silkworm eggs—an essential innovation at a time when European sericulture was under threat.

 

This legacy of artistry, resilience, and excellence is part of Cécile’s inheritance. With Morpho + Luna, she brings it into the present—reimagining it through the lens of contemporary femininity. Each piece reflects a timeless elegance, grounded in the discipline of traditional craft and elevated by a modern, poetic sensibility.

 

Morpho + Luna is more than a brand—it is a continuation of a story, centuries in the making.
