Green Pebbles A Passion for Luxury Fashion and Watches: PENSIERINO No. 12 TIE PERFECTION FROM ITALY

Have you ever noticed how some men wear ties that quite frankly should be banished to the cleaning cupboard as useful polishing cloths? This awful Christmas ties with flashing Father Christmas's or worse still the tie a long lost uncle thought they might appreciate because 'vintage' is in fashion? You get the picture!

So what should a perfect tie look like? Well we went along to ask an old friend of ours Marco Tartaglia owner and director at the famed Tessitura Albeni (we needed some corporate gifts and Marco came up with some stunning handmade personalised silk ties which our clients are still thanking us for today!).

Seven Fold Tie (Sette Pieghe)

As Marco likes to point out choosing a tie is a very personal matter, but more often than not some sound advice from an expert can ensure that the wearer's taste is perfectly matched with a shape (yes there is more than one shape you know!), width, and length which bring out the best in the tie and it's wearer!

Albeni offers this service online with their new ultra advanced online webstore which provides all the options including life size tie cut outs which can be used to choose just the right tie.

Handmade Silk Ties by Tessitura Albeni

Aside from producing some of the finest silk ties Italy has to offer including the famed 'sette pieghe' tie (Tessitura Albeni only uses the finest Italian silk for its ties) Albeni offers a personlised service by embroidering the wearer's initials on the tie and presenting the tie in a splendid box with a handwritten note explaining that the tie was made specifically for Mr. John Smith. We challenge you to find a finer present!

Always at the forefront of the tie industry Albeni have recently conceived a fabulous idea for an amazingly practical tie which they have called Tartie Pocket!

The Tartie Pocket is a tie without lining made with special processed silk. It can be turned into a pocket handkerchief and easily placed into the breast pocket of your jacket whenever the occasion calls for it! A regular 150 cms long and 8.5 cms wide the Tartie Pocket produces a medium sized knot when tied and is perfect for most tastes.

Available in 9 colors (3 kinds of blue, 2 light blue, red, green, white and lilac), with a classical pattern (little flowers), the Tartie Pocket is both fashionable, classic and practical!
