& Giraffe Print 1913 Tie One

Rich green silk, woven by Tessitura Attilio Bottinelli, carrying a giraffe print that trades the expected for something with real presence. The finish stays smooth and low-key, so the craft comes through before the motif does. Sharp enough for the office, distinctive enough to hold its own beyond it. Wear it plain-shirted and let the print take the lead, or bring it into a suit for an outfit with more to say. Specialists in both weaving and printing since 1931, Bottinelli is a family-run mill born and based in Como, Italy, the global mecca of luxury silk fabrics.

Their ties and pocket squares are then made by hand in Naples, home to some of the world's most sophisticated tailoring.
