Madder silk is an exceptional choice for neckties due to its unparalleled richness in color and texture. The dye's ability to produce a wide range of shades—from warm reds to deep greens—ensures that each tie boasts a unique, vibrant hue that can complement any outfit. Additionally, the soft yet resilient nature of the silk allows for a comfortable drape, making it easy to tie and wear throughout the day. The timeless elegance of madder silk ties not only elevates formal attire but also brings a touch of historical sophistication to modern fashion, making them a beloved accessory for discerning gentlemen.

The silk production begins with the cultivation of the madder plant, specifically its roots, which are harvested and dried. These roots are then crushed to extract a deep red dye, which can be made into other colors thanks to modern technology. The silk itself is both soaked in a madder-dye solution and hand-printed, resulting in a depth of print & vibrancy not found in any other method.

The traditional ancient madder dying method/formula is only kept alive in 2 mills in England today, however, there are producers in Italy who use a similar formula and method.

Our Ancient Madder ties are hand-crafted in Italy by our skilled tailors, ensuring a masterful construction befitting such a prized silk.
