Description

This is the fantasy tie in 50 oz silk, designed together with Fabio Attanasio and sewn in the Petronius 1926 workshop, an Italian landmark in the world of handcrafted ties. A unique piece: the fabric, 1990s original, is treated according to traditional craftsmanship; if you look at the label on the back, you will notice that there are very few pieces. Elegant, yes. And original, of course.

Made in the Petronius 1926 workshop

Construction

The print on the fabric is handmade: the color crosses the fabric bringing elegance even on the back of the tie; we want this beauty to show, so there is no lining. It is cut by hand and then finished by hand with the roulé hem, in which edges are rolled and then sewn.

Color

Unrefined leather goes through the traditional process called “tanning”. And is treated so to prevent it from decomposition or loss in flexibility. Afterwards, the leather is put in a rotating wood barrel with water and green coloring solution for dyeing. Water is then warmed up to 60° C to help the color bind to the leather for a lasting finish.

Leather

This tie, made of pure silk, is called peau d'ange ("angel skin") because it really is light and velvety to the touch. Elegant all year long.

Details

The unlined tie wraps around the neck with natural softness, resting lightly on the shirt. It has a high joist, an all-crafted virtuosity, the realisation of which requires a certain skill in order for the tie to be "flattened".
