Ginza Tailor has newly begun offering two of Italy's leading luxury necktie brands, "Silvio Fiorello" and "Italo Ferretti," adding a new dimension to its collection. Both brands are known for the skill and dedication of their artisans, along with a distinctive aesthetic, delivering neckties made to the highest standard of craftsmanship.
Italo Ferretti: A Byword for Top-Tier Quality, Beloved by VIPs Around the World
Italo Ferretti holds eight patents and has become known as a name synonymous with top-tier quality in neckwear.
The brand traces its roots to the early 1960s, when founder Italo Ferretti opened his first workshop in the town of Silvi, in Italy's Abruzzo region, handling everything from design to production himself.
Over roughly 30 years, from 1979 to 2005, the brand produced neckties for many of Italy's leading luxury houses, building an international reputation. Its ties have been worn by heads of state and figures at the top of the political and business worlds around the globe.
Each Italo Ferretti necktie begins as a hand-drawn sketch featuring hundreds of color combinations, making it, in the brand's words, a true work of art. The design is then realized through hand-printing that brings out the beauty of the fabric, and the finest silk is carefully twisted using a special tumbling process that gives the fabric both softness and strength. This combination of techniques defines the brand's neckties, which are further distinguished by eight international patents:
- Balance Tie (patented): Reinforcement and weight added to the lower section of the tie provide a stable fit and a beautifully balanced drape.
- Wrinkle-Resistant Stitching (patented): Eliminates bunching in the fabric around the collar, keeping the neck area flat and the knot neatly in place.
- Shuttle (patented): An innovative feature that smartly keeps the tie in place without the need for a tie pin.

Silvio Fiorello: From a Small Sicilian Town to the World Stage
Silvio Fiorello was founded in 1986 in Gagliano Castelferrato, a small town in Sicily, southern Italy, growing out of founder Silvio Fiorello's long-held dream of starting his own necktie company.
The brand has continually developed original models and designs unbound by convention or tradition, and has collaborated with a number of well-known Italian designers, drawing attention from buyers at leading shops around the world.
Its neckties have been sold at luxury department stores in Switzerland and long-established department stores in London, among other locations, and its quality is now recognized at top shops worldwide.
