Anyone know much about this line?
I found a bunch of their silk knit ties at the Rack in Oxnard CA for $15.00 each.
I bought 4 of them.
The silk is super dry and these damn things drape like no other tie I have worn.
I have another normal one I thrifted.
Is this some kind of diffusion line for them?

I have some. Mine are labeled Altea Milano. The silk is substantial and the print is a nice quality.

I hear that they look particularly good with Vanto Italian shirts.

The vanto was premire'd with not a Altea but an Attolini tie!
What a spectacular shirt. Loads of compliments and the fit is amazing.

I know nothing of the Arte line, but regular Altea ties are of good quality and $15 would be a very good price for them.
