Medallion Pattern Italian Silk Tie – Burgundy

Italian Silk with Rich Burgundy Tones

Crafted from Italian silk, this tie features a deep burgundy ground with a subtle diagonal texture. The fabric's restrained lustre enhances the contrast between the warm background and the blue and ochre details of the medallion pattern.

The silk offers a soft handle and naturally fluid drape, allowing the tie to form an elegant knot while complementing the lines of tailored clothing.

Craftsmanship and Finishing

The traditional three-fold construction is complemented by an internal lining, providing structure without compromising the fabric's natural flexibility.

Self-tipped ends are finished using matching Italian silk. Each tie is handmade in Italy, with careful attention to pattern placement, stitching and finishing details.

The Timeless Appeal of Burgundy Silk

Burgundy has long been associated with classic men's tailoring, offering a rich alternative to more conventional navy and grey accessories. This handmade Italian silk tie brings that distinctive shade together with a traditional medallion pattern, creating a design with character and versatility.

Small decorative motifs, outlined in blue and accented with ochre, are arranged at regular intervals across the burgundy ground. Their compact proportions create a balanced visual rhythm, allowing the richness of the silk to remain central to the design.

Subtle Texture, Distinctive Details

Fine diagonal lines run through the fabric, adding depth to the burgundy background. On closer inspection, the contrast between the textured ground and the rounded medallions reveals the carefully balanced composition of the pattern.

The blue outlines provide definition, while the ochre accents introduce warmth and a discreet touch of brightness.

A Versatile Addition to Classic Tailoring

Paired with a navy suit and a crisp white shirt, the tie creates a sophisticated contrast, with the blue medallions providing a subtle connection to the tailoring.

Against charcoal grey, the burgundy ground becomes more prominent, introducing warmth to a formal ensemble. The tie also complements brown jackets, flannel suits and textured wool fabrics, particularly in autumn and winter wardrobes.

Traditional Three-Fold Construction

The 3-fold construction allows the natural softness of the silk to remain evident while maintaining classic proportions and a balanced drape. An internal lining provides support to the knot and helps the tie retain its structure.

The self-tipped ends are finished with the same Italian silk used for the body of the tie, creating continuity of fabric and reflecting careful attention to traditional finishing techniques.

Preserving the Character of Burgundy Silk

After each wear, carefully loosen and undo the knot rather than pulling the narrow end directly through it. This helps protect the silk fibres and maintain the tie's original shape.

Everyday Storage and Cleaning

Store the tie flat or loosely rolled in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Allow the fabric to rest between wears to help preserve its natural drape.

Avoid contact with water, perfume and products that may leave marks on the silk. Do not wash in water or apply direct heat with an iron. For cleaning, consult a professional experienced in caring for fine silk accessories.
