Kiton 5-Fold Royal Blue Handrolled Silk Houndstooth Tie

Discover the Kiton 5-fold tie in royal blue silk, a bold reimagining of the classic houndstooth motif. The pattern is rendered in tonal shades of blue, giving it a graphic sharpness that’s softened by the fluid drape of pure silk. The result is both striking and wearable—perfect for injecting a dash of character into formal suiting or elevating a simple shirt-and-blazer pairing with a touch of Neapolitan flair.

Constructed entirely by hand in Kiton’s Naples atelier, this untipped tie is made using the traditional 5-fold method, folding a single piece of silk inward multiple times for structure and weight. The edges are hand-rolled and sewn—a painstaking process that showcases the skill and time invested in each piece. Light, expressive, and impeccably finished, it’s a tie that captures the art of understated detail.

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.
