Unlined 3 Fold Light Green/Blue/Brown Silk Shantung Tie TRIGA

Shantung silk is a highly prized 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 connecting the East and the West for the production of the world's finest silks.

It results from a double silk cocoon produced by two silkworms that construct 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.

Shantung silk is also durable and resistant to wear. Its surface is rough and soft to the touch, offering a delicate shimmering brightness. This silk is perfect for the creation of highly sought-after ties. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is hypoallergenic, making it perfect for both day and evening wear. Furthermore, it is suitable for more informal and casual occasions.

When you remove the tie after wearing it, you can do two things: keep it flat in a drawer or at most folded in half, or use a tie hanger to keep it in the wardrobe. The washing of a tie should absolutely not be done in the washing machine or with water. The tie should be taken to the dry cleaner for dry cleaning. The tie should not be ironed, either dry or steam. At most, to revive the folds caused by wearing it and the fibers, you can distribute a jet of steam from a distance. In any case, if you happen to stain or otherwise damage your tie, we suggest you contact us to potentially intervene with a restoration of the product thanks to our regeneration service.

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