Discover timeless Italian tailoring in this handcrafted silk fresco tie. Woven at Italy's oldest silk textile factory, it uses rare shuttle looms from the early 1900s to create a supple, high-density silk twill. Also known as a grenadine tie, "fresco" translates to "fresh" or "cool" in Italian, giving the fabric a light feel with a rich, textured depth that adds presence to any outfit.
Fresco ties hold a special place in classic menswear for their breathable weave and structured drape. Every detail of this tie reflects traditional craftsmanship, from its 100 percent silk outer fabric, made from carefully selected top-tier Italian silk, to its matching silk lining used in place of synthetic materials. The interlining is chosen to suit the silk's texture, ensuring a smooth, comfortable knot every time. The fabric is cut on the bias with generous length to help prevent unsightly twisting.
Built to last, this tie features hand-stitched bartacks for reinforced strength. It measures approximately 145 cm in length, with an 8 cm blade width and a 5 cm width at the 50 cm mark. This item is brand new. Because each tie is individually handmade, slight variations in dimensions and pattern placement are normal, making every piece one of a kind.
