• Garza grossa grenadine silk tie in bottle green. 100% Como Silk. Handmade in Bucharest.

The silk is woven in the old looms of Como region in Italy, the weave being characterised by its light, open, gauze-like feel. The grenadine tie is considered by many the most versatile tie in a man's wardrobe, being suitable for both formal and informal occasions. A large part of its success is due to being a constant staple in Sean Connery's wardrobe as 007 agent James Bond. All our grenadine ties are untipped and have hand-rolled edges; this means that the tip consists of just one layer of fabric and the edges are rolled in and sewn by hand. A nice sartorial detail only found in very good quality ties, this nicely emphasizes the hand-made character of the tie.

• Due to the fineness of the silk used and the complexity of the weave, our grenadines are susceptible to pulls and snags and should be treated with great care.
