Story & heritage
E. Marinella was founded by Eugenio Marinella in 1914 in Naples, in a tiny shop on Piazza Vittoria. The house is best known for silk neckties: Wikipedia describes each tie as handmade and unique, and records how Marinella ties became gifts exchanged by Italian statesmen and worn by heads of state and royals.
The classic three-fold tie is the house language in its clearest form: hand-printed silk, individual cutting and hand closing, in printed and jacquard variations.
Materials & craft
Official product descriptions ground the classic tie in hand-printed silk, individual cutting and hand closing; jacquard versions use warp-and-weft weaving to create raised patterns.
How to choose & style
Start with navy, burgundy or bottle-green. Choose a small repeat for textured tailoring and jacquard when the shirt and suit are plain.
