SILK

Silk has always been a symbol of refinement and prestige. Used for the most precious ties and dressing gowns, it is distinguished by its natural sheen and its smooth, soft hand.

Every Filippo Marchesi silk tie, dressing gown, pochette, or bow tie is crafted using silks sourced from the finest mills in Como, where tradition and innovation come together to create fabrics of unmatched quality.

Thanks to its lightness and its ability to enhance colours and patterns with depth and brilliance, silk is the ideal fabric for those who seek a timeless, elegant, and versatile accessory, perfect for formal occasions as well as the most refined moments of everyday life.

SHANTUNG SILK

Shantung silk is one of the most fascinating and distinctive variations of silk. Originating from the Eastern textile tradition, it is characterised by its irregular surface, marked by small slubs and natural knots that make each fabric truly unique.

Its lightweight yet substantial texture ensures an impeccable drape, maintaining a stable knot with remarkable presence.

Filippo Marchesi Shantung silk ties embody the meeting of artisanal refinement and sophisticated style: an ideal accessory for those who wish to stand out with discretion and exclusivity.

ANCIENT MADDER

Ancient Madder silk is a printed silk crafted using a traditional technique that employs matte, velvety colours, resulting in a soft, powdery, and sophisticated feel.

Ancient Madder silk ties combine discreet elegance with character. Their signature patterns paisley, fine geometric motifs, and floral designs are elevated by the soft finish and subtly “vintage” appearance, which add depth and personality.

In the Filippo Marchesi collection, Ancient Madder silks come exclusively from exceptional mills that preserve a centuries-old tradition while ensuring enduring quality. They are the perfect choice for those who seek an accessory that stands out with refinement, never excess.

WOOL

Wool is one of the most versatile and appreciated fabrics in the world of sartorial ties. Sourced from the historic mills of Biella, it is renowned for its softness, durability, and ability to maintain its shape over time.

Wool also enhances patterns and motifs with softer, deeper tones, making it ideal for the autumn and winter seasons, while retaining a timeless style that suits even formal settings.

Filippo Marchesi wool ties combine comfort and refinement: the naturally warm and substantial fabric gives the knot a balanced structure and an elegant look without feeling stiff.

KNITTED

The knitted tie, usually made from pure silk or wool, distinguished by its unique interlaced construction. Unlike traditional woven ties, tricot ties have neither lining nor interlining: this makes them lightweight, flexible, and informal in spirit yet always refined.

The knitted surface creates a distinctive, three-dimensional look, ideal for those seeking an accessory that blends sartorial tradition with modern appeal.

Perfect with casual-chic outfits or less formal business looks, Filippo Marchesi tricot ties add a touch of personality and distinction without ever compromising on elegance.

JACQUARD

Jacquard fabric takes its name from the loom invented in the 19th century by Joseph-Marie Jacquard, which revolutionised the textile world by allowing complex motifs to be woven directly into the fabric.

In ties, Jacquard stands out for its visual and tactile richness: the designs are not printed but woven, giving them depth and durability. Geometric patterns, floral motifs, and refined designs come to life with a three-dimensional effect that reflects light in a sophisticated way.

Filippo Marchesi Jacquard ties represent a symbol of timeless refinement: fabrics that catch the light and enhance every detail of an outfit, transforming a simple accessory into a distinctive mark of authentic elegance.

LINEN

Linen is a natural fabric that embodies freshness and lightness, making it ideal for the spring and summer seasons. Derived from the flax plant, it is distinguished by its airy and slightly irregular texture, which gives ties an authentic and relaxed charm.

Filippo Marchesi linen ties combine simplicity and refinement: their dry, crisp texture creates soft, effortless knots perfect for those seeking a style that is both elegant and naturally understated.

Thanks to its versatility, linen pairs beautifully with cotton blazers, unstructured jackets, and lightweight suits, becoming the ideal companion for facing warmer days with style, without ever compromising on elegance.

GRENADINE

Grenadine is a rare and precious silk fabric, woven on antique Jacquard looms. Its open, three-dimensional weave gives it unique depth and luminosity, making the tie lightweight yet remarkably substantial. A symbol of refined understatement, grenadine is loved by connoisseurs for its versatility: it pairs naturally with both formal suits and more relaxed outfits.

Filippo Marchesi grenadine ties, entirely handmade in Italy, elevate this exclusive fabric to its fullest expression transforming it into a timeless accessory that celebrates contemporary sartorial elegance.

CASHMERE

Cashmere is one of the finest natural fibres in the world, prized for its extraordinary softness and its ability to provide warmth without ever feeling heavy. Sourced from Mongolian cashmere goats and later processed in Como, it is synonymous with authentic luxury and absolute comfort.

In Filippo Marchesi scarves, cashmere expresses its full essence: lightness, warmth, and a silky touch that makes each accessory not only functional but a distinctive mark of refined elegance.
