Shop was nice but didn't compare to Drake's. Maybe I just didnt like the patterns or the display but I found the selection much more appealing at Drake's. All ties were priced at £140 (though I may have misheard £114) which put them significantly above Drake's.

Space was relatively small, moreso with 3 staff members crammed in. Mainly devoted to ties though there were a few raincoats and accessories (umbrellas etc).



Is it on Maddox Street? I can't find the shop this afternoon.

Thanks to all for pointing out the location of the shop. Service at the shop was most enthusiastic although stuffs are rather pricey. My wife bought a scraf, but I left empty-handed.

Yes, they have wallets and card holders. I think they also have card holders in the same silk as their ties.

Price tags are most discreet, ie you can't see the prices of items in the shop unless you asked. Unfortunately, I didn't ask about the card holders and umbrellas. Ties are £140 and pocket squares £65. I don't know what the exact prices are like in Naples, but I strongly suspect they are quite a bit lower.

That's obnoxious - you can go to Rubinacci and get bespoke for 100 - 125.

Basic ties in the Naples shop are priced at 95 euros so there is quite a bit of markup. Too bad...

Was told today that sizes are:
Standard: 148cm x 9cm
Extra-long: 156 x 9cm

They had a fair selection of both sizes. Also many seven-folds and nine-folds. The only price I can remember is that of the nine-fold extra-long being £200. Some ties will take weeks to make.

The staff were extremely nice. Best customer service I've come across in a long time.

Went here yesterday, was bit disappointed in selection as the place is very small, seems to be colours chosen for the UK market. Will have to visit the Milan or Napoli atelier soon.
