Material: 100% Printed English silk
Color: Purple with small blue, white, and brown pattern
Production: Handcrafted, Made in Italy

Printed English silk has a dense and compact weave that holds the print without smudging — and the small pattern of the NAOMI, with its blues, whites, and browns on a purple background, demonstrates this well. Constructed with seven folds without an inner lining, this tie has a precise weight and a soft drape that is recognizable at the knot: the Four in Hand comes naturally here, without having to think about it. The purple is bold but not ostentatious. It is the choice of those who know that color, used well, does not disturb — it concludes.

Style and Pairing Advice

  • Formal meeting: The deep purple of the NAOMI finds its natural balance with charcoal grey. A classic that works because complementary colors do not fight each other — they define one another.
    Outfit: Charcoal grey tropical wool suit, white poplin shirt, black calfskin derby shoes. No pocket square — here the tie is enough.
  • Daytime ceremony: With navy blue, purple ceases to be unusual and becomes the right choice. The small pattern holds its distance and does not overload the look in the formal context of a wedding or an outdoor ceremony.
    Outfit: Unlined navy blue linen suit, pale blue shirt, leather loafers. A white pocket square, folded flat.
  • Casual Friday separates: Outside of a suit, the NAOMI takes on a different character. With a neutral blazer and an open-collar shirt, it becomes the detail that justifies the rest of the look.
    Outfit: Unlined single-breasted greige cotton blazer, white shirt with Italian collar, light grey chinos, taupe suede loafers. Tie with a wide knot, loosened by a finger.

The tailor's advice: With a 7 fold in English silk, the right knot is the Four in Hand. The construction without an inner lining already gives the knot a natural volume — a half Windsor would risk being excessive. Let the fabric work on its own: a slightly asymmetrical knot on this tie is correct, not an oversight.

Product care: Dry clean only. Do not iron directly on the silk — use an interposed damp cloth at low temperature. Store hanging or rolled, never folded across: the 7 fold construction has no inner lining and a prolonged fold can permanently mark the fabric. If wrinkles form, twenty minutes hanging in a humid environment is enough. If over time it needs an intervention — cleaning, width modification, or simply a new life — our tie regeneration service is the only one in Italy specializing in this.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 7 fold tie and what changes compared to a 3 fold? +
A 7 fold tie is constructed by folding the fabric in on itself seven times, without an inner lining. The result is a heavier accessory, with a softer drape and a knot that naturally holds its shape. The 3 fold has an inner lining and is lighter; the 7 fold is considered the most refined construction in classic tailoring.
What knot pairs with an 8.5 cm 7 fold tie? +
With 8.5 cm and the typical thickness of a 7 fold, the Four in Hand (simple) knot is the most correct choice. It is slightly asymmetrical and not overly voluminous — it enhances the hand of the fabric without weighing down the shirt collar. The half Windsor works with spread collars.
Does purple pair easily with office suits? +
Yes, provided you choose the right context. An intense purple like that of the NAOMI works well with medium grey or charcoal suits and with dark navy blue. Avoid with brown and formal black. The key is to keep the shirt and suit neutral, letting the purple do the work.
How do you wash a printed English silk tie? +
Dry clean only. Printed English silk is treated with processes that washing in water can alter — the risk is losing the sharpness of the print and irreversibly relaxing the 7 fold construction. In case of small stains, dab immediately with a dry cloth without rubbing.
