Product Insights & Style Tips
Elizabetta Calvino - Extra Long Printed Silk Tie for Men channels refined Italian tailoring with a playful botanical punch. Named after Italo Calvino and inspired by Sanremo's blooms, this tie pairs a colorful floral print against a black backdrop for a look that is artful yet wearable. The fabric is 100% Madder Schappe Silk Saglione, offering a buttery hand and a heavy 32-momme weight. First dyed, then printed, and finished with madder, it delivers depth and a quiet glow. The 3-fold construction signals luxury, and the self-tipped ends keep the point neat and the line clean. An extra long length ensures presence for taller gents, about 3.38 inches wide by 62.5 inches long.
Wearability: With the length tailored for men taller than 6'2", the Elizabetta Calvino sits where you want it from the lapel to the knot. The 3-fold build holds a crisp knot through long meetings or evening events. The self-tipped front and back fabric keep curling at bay as you move, while the pure wool inner lining gives the tie its body and helps preserve its shape over the years. It layers beautifully under a charcoal or navy suit, and the bold print reads as a controlled statement rather than loud flash, letting the wearer anchor the look while the tie does the talking.
Context: Elizabetta leans into handmade Italian craft and heritage, pairing traditional tie making with modern floral visuals. The Calvino line nods to classic silk prowess while appealing to the contemporary wardrobe that loves a standout accessory in formalwear.
