Torino All Over Medium Maroon Silk Tie

In 1893 Oscar Wilde wrote ‘A well-tied tie is the first serious step in life’. Fashion historians in Europe trace the advent of neckwear to Croatian mercenaries hired by King Louis XIII who wore bright, knotted kerchiefs around their necks in the Thirty Year War. Parisians took notice and immediately neckwear became fashion. Legend has it that the traditional name for neckwear “Cravats” has been derived from the Croats. Over centuries, ties have become a symbol of elegant, formal dressing and serve as the foremost expression of individual fashion in a gentleman’s ensemble. Paisley and Floral designs have origins in Persia & India and made their way to the West through the ancient Silk Route. Since centuries now these all over designs in myriad colour combinations have become symbolic of chic, contemporary fashion. Choose from a variety of designs in 100% pure Silk.
