Kiton ties are forms of origami made in Naples, made from the technique of the “seven folds”, a crucial part of Neapolitan tradition. The name stems from the technique which has a visible benefit: the finished product wraps around the neck, following its form gracefully and assuredly.
The tie is made from a piece of silk folded diagonally seven times, from the sides inwards without any cutting or inner lining, each operation being performed by hand.
One single seam through the 40-ounce fabric, Kiton’s distinguishing feature, full enough that it's always impeccable.
