TORINO

A quiet and elegant city in Northern Italy, was the birthplace of the first collections of ties and scarves which the top silk textile proponents of the time helped create: the Swiss, Italians, French, and the English; this is how each collection, carefully fashioned, came to be.

During that time, the sobriety in formal fashion received a touch of distinction, in the form of rich texture and innovative color combinations, from the designs Scappino created and which, in very short amount of time, gave Scappino ties great fame throughout Europe.

The "Scappino Knot", which the firm expanded on in the years prior to World War II, had also become quite popular in Europe.
