Water has always been Herno’s muse. Rain, fog, river, lake were the inspiration behind the high-performance raincoat that started it all and continues to define the brand.
In 1948, Giuseppe Marenzi and his wife Alessandra Diana saw potential in treated cotton once used in wartime aviation, sparking a spirit of experimentation rooted in post-war Italy. From that moment on, innovation became Herno’s signature.
Inspired by life on the lake and river, Herno evolved from jackets to impeccably crafted outerwear. Designed to protect against rain, cold, wind, and humidity, and made with the finest Italian workmanship. For Herno, water is challenge and inspiration, and ultimately, success.
