Beige/Grey/Brown Unlined 3 Fold Shantung Silk Tie TRIGA

Shantung silk is a highly prized and sought-after fabric. Its history roots back to ancient China, specifically in the Shandong region, from which it gets its name. Ours comes from Como, which continues to be a hub of connection between East and West for the production of the finest silks in the world.

It is the result of double silk thread produced by two silkworms that spin the cocoon together, a rare occurrence, which is why it is so precious. Technically, it is the result of a defect. Nonetheless, given its rarity, its imperfections, flames, lumps, buttons, and knots become foundational elements of its uniqueness and recognizability.

Shantung silk is also durable and resistant to wear. Its surface is crinkled and soft to the touch and offers a delicate shimmering luminosity. This silk is perfect for creating highly sought-after ties. It is warm in winter and cool in summer; moreover, it is hypoallergenic and is perfect for both day and evening wear. Additionally, it is suitable for both casual and informal occasions.

When you take off the tie after wearing it, you can do two things: keep it laid flat in a drawer or at most folded in half, or use a tie hanger to keep in your closet. Cleaning a tie should never be done in a washing machine or with water. The tie should be taken to a dry cleaner for dry cleaning. The tie should also not be ironed, neither dry nor with steam. At most, to refresh the folds caused by wearing it and the fibers, you can distribute a burst of steam from a distance. In any case, if you happen to stain or in any way damage your tie, we suggest contacting us to possibly intervene with a product restoration thanks to our regeneration service.

Everything starts in our workshop in Pontecagnano, in the province of Salerno, where what initially was the vision of two women, mother and daughter (Marisa and Veronica), has become a family story that dedicates its days to creating unique products. Here since 1994, tradition and passion merge to bring this tie and all our other articles to life, aiming every day to search for new materials and new styles.
