Monk Facts

This unique neck tie is hand made by folding a single piece of silk five times to form the classic Petronius shape. It is a timeless piece based upon Luigi Wollisch’s vintage silks from the 1920s and 30s, a truly special tie.Petronius, founded in 1926, is a family owned maker of fine Italian ties. Through three generations the Wollisch family have channelled their passion for hand-made ties into producing some of the finest ‘cravatte’ in the world. In 1926, Luigi Wollisch established his first workshop in the Via Rugabella in Milan, naming his company after the Roman procunsul Petronio, who was known throughout the empire as an arbiter of taste. Today the family still uphold the scrupulous standards that have made Petronius a byword for quality among the style cognoscenti and a favourite of such icons as Lino Ieluzzi.
