Kiton 5-Fold Dark Purple Pure Linen Tie

Discover the Kiton Five-Fold Dark Purple Pure Linen Tie, a piece that occupies a colour between dark purple and dark blue that has no precise name and is more interesting for it. The hue shifts depending on the light and what it is worn against, reading as a deep plum in one context and closer to indigo in another, the ambiguity of the tone giving the tie a versatility that a more resolved colour would not produce in the same way. The pure linen is the detail that separates this from anything in Kiton's silk range: the fibre producing a matte, slightly textured surface with a natural irregularity that silk cannot replicate, the cloth sitting against the collar with a dry, substantial hand that makes it a natural companion to the heavier, more textured cloths of the autumn and transitional wardrobe. Five folds of pure linen without interlining produce a knot of considerable character and a blade with a natural, slightly structured drape entirely particular to the cloth.

A dark purple linen five-fold from Kiton is the tie for the man who has worn every variation of silk neckwear and understands what linen brings to the category that silk cannot. The colour, the cloth and the making combine into something that a serious wardrobe finds genuinely difficult to replace with anything else.

Kiton was founded by Ciro Paone in 1968 in Arzano, near Naples. Ciro Paone was born in Naples in 1933; he came from a family of fabric dealers who had been operative for five generations – which have now become seven generations. For more than 3 decades, Ciro’s passion gave rise to the Kiton project. With the founding of Kiton, Ciro turned his greatest passion into a vocation, elevating tailoring from a modest artisan craft to an artistic expression: the love for beauty, the love for beautiful garments. His entire existence focuses on two fundamentals: passion and quality.

Please review measurements and quality control comments carefully before ordering. As a small independent boutique we encourage thoughtful purchasing. For any questions, feel free to contact us before placing your order.

To maintain the beauty of this sartorial item, we recommend professional laundering and careful pressing. Even though ironing can effectively and easily remove wrinkles from your tie, the heat has the potential to scorch and damage the material, and it can leave your tie looking lifeless and flat. Steaming is usually the better option because it's much gentler on the fabric and can tackle the most stubborn wrinkles.

General Note: While we inspect each item to ensure its quality, please note that minor imperfections may be present due to the preloved nature of the garments. We strive to represent every item accurately, but subtle signs of wear may sometimes go unnoticed. We appreciate your understanding and commitment to sustainable luxury.
