Mogador Striped Silk Cotton Tie Eggplant Hand Rolled

Hand made in ItalyFabric: 80% silk, 20% cottonLength: 147cm (= 58 inch)Construction: 3-fold hand-rolledIn the heart of the Italian silk industry, Como, lies one of the oldest silk weavers in Europe. Founded in the mid-19th-century, at first as a supplier of silk for furnishings and clothing, they began to make silk for ties when it took its modern shape at the beginning of the 20th century. To this day, a lot of historic, wooden looms are in use, which have not been produced in decades. But there is no substitute for them: our popular grenadine silk is woven on them, for example. We just love this heritage of Italian craftsmanship and we do our best to keep those traditions alive.
