Brunello Cucinelli Silk Jacquard Paisley Tie

The necktie originated in 17th-century France when Croatian mercenaries would wear them as a symbol of allegiance to the French army. The king at the time, Louis XIV, liked the look so much he adopted it into his own fashion oeuvre. Had the Italian brand Brunello Cucinelli existed at the time, we might hazard a guess that this silk iteration would have been the royal’s first choice.
