Kiton 5-Fold Light Blue & Yellow Silk Vintage Pattern Tie

Discover the Kiton Five-Fold Light Blue and Yellow Silk Vintage Pattern Tie, a combination that carries the particular optimism of Italian neckwear at its mid-century best. Light blue and yellow is warm and fresh simultaneously, the two colours sitting together with a natural ease that feels unforced, the yellow introducing a brightness that the light blue then tempers into something wearable rather than bold. The vintage pattern gives the surface a character and depth that contemporary designs rarely achieve, the motif carrying the slightly irregular, hand-crafted quality that older silk printing and weaving techniques produced and that modern production has largely moved away from. In pure silk the light blue and yellow carry a luminosity and warmth that the vintage character of the pattern amplifies, the colours sitting in the cloth with a richness that feels genuinely earned rather than applied. Five folds without interlining, made entirely by hand in Naples, the full natural knot and blade drape that the construction reliably delivers.

A light blue and yellow vintage pattern from Kiton is the tie that a wardrobe reaches for when the occasion calls for personality rather than authority, worn best with a navy or cream suit where the colours find the right backdrop and the vintage character of the pattern has room to express itself. The kind of piece that improves every outfit it is part of without announcing its intention to do so.

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.
