Unlined 3 fold green/blue/brown silk shantung tie TRIGA

Silk shantung is a very precious and sought-after fabric. Its history is rooted in ancient China, specifically in the Shandong region, from which it takes its name. Ours comes from Como, which continues to be a crossroads of connection between the East and West for the production of the finest silks in the world.

It is the result of a double silk filament, produced by two silkworms that build the cocoon together, a rare event, which is why it is so precious. Technically, it would be the result of a defect. Nevertheless, considering its rarity, its imperfections, flaws, lumps, buttons and knots become foundational elements of its uniqueness and recognizability.

Silk shantung 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 perfect for both day and evening wear. In addition, it is suitable for more 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. The washing of a tie should never be done in a washing machine or with water. The tie should be taken to the dry cleaners for dry cleaning. The tie should not be ironed, neither dry nor steam. At most, to freshen up the folds from wearing it and the fibers, you can distribute a steam jet from a distance. In any case, if you happen to stain or somehow damage your tie, we suggest contacting us to potentially intervene with a restoration of the product through our regeneration service.

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