Best buys for Grenadine Ties in Europe?

Actually, do you have a proxy in the US?

There’s a well regarded men’s store that has amazing grenadines on sale.

Care to share the name?

As for the other Polish makers, 75 EUR = $93 at current exchange rates...

+ duty + VAT however, which makes makers like Posetska, embassy of elegance etc. more attractive.

Chipp? Solid ties and an attractive price last time I looked, pretty spongy lining though.

Could be. They are way too narrow for me, though. Finding a 3.75" wide grenadine is quite a chore.

Fair enough. If you're patient, I think old Turnbull and Asser, Gieves, Ede and Ravenscroft etc on eBay is the way to go for a tight budget.

I have a couple ties from Chipp. Good quality for the price, but the lining is a bit thick on their grenadines. Not an issue on their other ties, though.

Chipp will do a different width for you for the same price as extra long.

Thanks for the tips, gentlemen! Apologies to the OP for taking over his post...

Just found another EU maker in Bucharest there on IG, no experience of them as yet.

This one has a shopfront so perhaps a Romanian member could drop by and let us know what they're like.

I have seen a lot of other brands that seem to exist only on instagram and sell through a very attractive but empty website with no physical address. I suspect they are just arbitraging by waiting for a customer to buy and then quickly ordering that product themselves from elsewhere.

Oh and actually to update you, Charles Tyrwhitt are now selling 'classic' (ie., sensible) width grenadines for £30 each. Not a great range of colours, and the lining will probably be very spongy, but also probably your cheapest option for buying new.

Revival of an old thread. Berg and berg offers grenadine ties in 8 and 9 cm width and SF affiliate @Skolyx also has grenadines but the dimensions are not listed on their page.

If you read this @Skolyx would you care to share some details about the ties?

Sure, they are about 8 cm wide and 147-149 cm long. Made in Grenadine from Como, handmade outside Naples by a small family run business. Feel free to let us know if there is any more detailed questions.

Is it possible to visit them in Naples?
