Features 3 of 5
Feature 1 Opera Campi builds its collection around hemp, offering pure fabrics listed on its fabrics page as 100% Hemp, including Light Hemp Canvas, Knitted 100% Hemp, Iperfine, Superfine, Primitive Denim and Velina. Butter Hemp is the brand's lightest jersey hemp, while Herotex is a patented technology that makes hemp elastic without reducing its natural composition. Blended fabrics from Opera Campi include Cashemp at 49% Hemp and 51% Cashmere, and three Lanapa options combining hemp with merino wool: Burro Lanapa at 50% Hemp and 50% Merino Wool, Knitted Lanapa at 70% Fine Merino Wool and 30% Hemp, and Woven Lanapa at 60% Australian Merino Wool and 40% Hemp. The sustainability page notes that in just a few materials, namely Burro Canapa and Herotex, you may find less than 6% plastic, either polyester or Lycra.
Feature 2 Every Opera Campi garment is made in Italy, with the hemp fabric woven and the products manufactured in and around Parma. Working with experienced Italian suppliers, Opera Campi originally used 100% French hemp woven in Italy, then moved to hemp from China's Black Lands region after French farmers stopped cultivation around 2019. Each piece is made on demand and produced in less than 7 days on average, and the brand built its manufacturing supply no more than 30km from its Parma headquarters.
Feature 3 Opera Campi holds no third-party certification and states on its sustainability page that it does not need certifications to demonstrate its efforts to reduce carbon emissions. As further sustainability measures, Opera Campi plants two trees per product ordered, uses packaging that is recyclable or compostable, and reports that its hemp t-shirt emits less than 3kg of CO2 and consumes no more than 600 litres of water.

Supply-chain summary Opera Campi states its hemp is sourced from Italy, France and China (for example, its 'La Canapa' jacket uses hemp grown in France and a cultivar from China), and that all final production happens in Italy within about 30 km of its Parma headquarters. Opera Campi makes its garments to order and, per Good On You, traces most of its supply chain and audits the final production stage. Opera Campi does not name its spinning mill, weaving mill, dye house or cut-and-sew factory, and publishes no supplier list. Opera Campi discloses fibre origins and an Italian production base but stops short of named suppliers or living-wage verification.

H3 Q1: Is [Brand] sustainable / ethical? Is Opera Campi sustainable and ethical?
Answer 1 Opera Campi is partly sustainable on materials: our scan of all 119 styles found 80.5% plant fibre (5.1% synthetic, 14.4% animal).
H3 Q2: Where is [Brand] made? Where is Opera Campi made?
Answer 2 Opera Campi garments are made in Italy, with final production and much of the supply chain based across three Italian regions: Emilia Romagna, Lombardy and Tuscany. According to reporting in Il Sole 24 Ore, Opera Campi's hemp threads are processed in Prato, the fabric is woven by a company in the province of Varese, and garments are then made "between Emilia Romagna, Lombardy and Tuscany in collaboration with excellent textile companies" and artisans. Opera Campi sources its raw hemp fibre from China (the brand and press also reference Italian and French hemp), while its Lanapa merino-hemp yarn uses mulesing-free merino wool. Good On You states that for Opera Campi "all of its final production stage happens in Italy."
H3 Q3: Who owns [Brand]? Who owns Opera Campi?
Answer 3 Opera Campi is an independent Italian hemp clothing brand founded in 2017 by Alberto Ziveri (initially with friends) in the countryside around Parma, Emilia Romagna, Italy. Opera Campi was formalised into a company structure in 2022 when Ziveri's wife, Beatrice Corazza, joined the business; the legal entity is Opera Campi SRL, based in Parma (VAT IT02975420346). Opera Campi is privately held by its founders with no parent company or outside group reported; it operates as a small independent, online-only brand with a studio/showroom in Parma.
H3 Q4: Is [Brand] legit / worth it? Is Opera Campi legit and worth it?
Answer 4 Opera Campi is a real, currently-trading legitimate business, not defunct. Opera Campi operates as Opera Campi SRL out of Parma, Italy, sells through its own website operacampi.com on a made-to-order basis (roughly 7-10 days to delivery), and remained active into 2025-2026 with new proprietary fabric launches (e.g. Cashemp and an "Iperleggera" t-shirt in 2025), ongoing social media, Trustpilot reviews, and a 2025 fashion-book award. No bankruptcy, closure, or dormancy was found in any source.
H3 Q5: Is [Brand] fast fashion? Is Opera Campi fast fashion?
Answer 5 Opera Campi is a slow, small-batch brand, not fast fashion. Opera Campi produces garments on demand only after a customer orders (to avoid overproduction and stockpiling), describes itself as a small team of roughly four core members ("still an ant in a market of lions"), and specialises narrowly in hemp and hemp-blend fabrics developed in-house rather than churning out high-volume seasonal collections. Opera Campi's direct-to-consumer, made-to-order Italian production model is the structural opposite of the fast-fashion mass-production approach.
Answer 6 Opera Campi is a mixed bag for non-toxicity: 80.5% of its range is plant fibre that breathes and biodegrades, with 5.1% plastic-based synthetics that can shed microplastics. Certifications: Opera Campi holds no third-party sustainability or textile certifications that could be verified. The brand explicitly states on its own sustainability page that it does not pursue them: "We don't need certifications to demonstrate we put all our efforts to reduce carbon emissions and to propose different ideas in term of sustainable production." No GOTS, OEKO-TEX, Fair Trade, B Corp, or European Flax certification is listed on Opera Campi's site, in press coverage, or in the Good On You directory entry, which lists no certifications for the brand. Opera Campi does make product-specific claims (e.g. mulesing-free merino wool, hemp yarns tested to EU 2011/1007 / ISO 1833, hemp described as pesticide-free and carbon-neutral cultivated), but these are self-reported rather than backed by a named independent certifier..
Answer 7 Opera Campi holds the following certifications: Opera Campi holds no third-party sustainability or textile certifications that could be verified. Beyond any paper certification, our scan of 112 Opera Campi styles found 67.0% is 100% plant fibre, which is the measurable material fact behind Opera Campi's claims.
Methodology note (page footer) How we scan. Every figure on this page comes from the Throne Standard scan: we read the fibre composition off each live product on the brand's own site, style by style, and count only single-fibre plant cloth (cotton, linen, hemp) as natural. Animal fibres such as wool, silk and cashmere and plastic-based synthetics such as polyester, nylon and elastane sit outside the plant-fibre figure, and regenerated fibres such as viscose, bamboo, modal and Tencel are counted as semi-synthetic. Percentages are calculated over the styles that state a composition; anything unlabelled is shown separately.
Synthetic % 0.8
Answer 8 Our scan of all 119 Opera Campi styles found 80.5% of the range is 100% plant fibre, with 14.4% animal fibre, 5.1% synthetic and 0% semi-synthetic. Our scan of 112 Opera Campi styles found 67.0% is 100% plant fibre, so Opera Campi's plant-fibre focus is borne out in the actual composition data.

How it was read Throne identifies the eligible textile products in Opera Campi's catalogue, inspects each product for published material evidence and requires at least 20 scoreable textile SKUs before publishing a brand score. The score uses only products with enough published material information to classify. Brand non-disclosure and technical read failures are reported separately. Non-textile products are excluded rather than counted as a pass or a fail.
