The beauty of Silk Grenadine Ties
Silk grenadine ties are an iconic accessory for the modern gentleman, championed in popular culture by none other than Sean Connery as James Bond. Their unique texture and timeless elegance make them a staple for both formal and smart-casual looks.
What Makes Grenadine Ties Special
Grenadine is a lightweight, open-weave silk that gives ties a subtle gauze-like texture, offering both elegance and versatility. Each of our Grenadine is handmade on historic wooden jacquard looms dating back to the late 19th century in the Lake Como area, continuing a centuries-old Italian tradition. Interestingly, the earliest known use of grenadine dates to 18th century France, where it appeared as black lace fabric.
Garza Grossa vs. Garza Fina
Grenadine ties are typically available in two distinct varieties:
Garza Grossa (large gauze) – Features a more visible texture, similar to a knitted tie, allowing for slightly larger knots and a versatile, less formal appearance.
Garza Fina (fine gauze) – Has a subtler texture, creating a smaller, neater knot that is perfect for office wear or ceremonial occasions.
