Kiton Navy Grenadine Silk Thin 1960's "Cipa" Tie

Discover the Kiton Navy Grenadine Silk Cipa Tie, a piece that wears its era with complete conviction. The grenadine weave in navy is one of the most enduring cloth and colour combinations in neckwear, the open, leno weave producing a textured surface that catches the light with a matte, almost granular quality entirely distinct from a smooth silk equivalent. In navy it is the most versatile tie a wardrobe can contain, working across virtually every suit colour and shirt combination without requiring any further consideration. The slim width is the detail that places this tie in a specific and compelling chapter of men's dressing: the early 1960s, when narrower lapels and a leaner silhouette demanded neckwear to match, the look worn by the men in the Madison Avenue offices that Mad Men later mythologised so effectively. On a grenadine it feels not like a trend reference but like the tie returning to the proportions it was always best suited to.

Kiton produces the Cipa as a house tie in a range of colours and weaves, the grenadine navy among the most quietly essential of them. Five-fold construction without interlining, made entirely by hand in Naples: the result is a slim tie with the natural knot and blade weight that the 1960s originals produced in a different way and that Kiton arrives at through a more demanding method of making.

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.
