Part of M.J. Bale Classics, the Macedo Tie is handmade in Southern Italy from a cotton silk blend that has been woven in the Lake Como region. Crafted to the traditional three-fold construction technique, this tie is finished with navy silk tipping.
The Macedo Tie is designed, woven and made in Italy exclusively for M.J. Bale. It is handmade by artisans in the Campania region, who use the traditional three-fold technique to ensure a high level of quality and finish. The cotton-silk fabric is woven in Como, Italy, by a multi-generational, family-run firm. Quite simply, this is a refined and elegant accessory that combines classicism and character - two important characteristics of every well-dressed gentleman.

Provenance
The weaving partner of our silk made in Italy accessories, are a family-run firm situated near the town of Como in Italy.
Our weavers have maintained in their archive room over 15,000 volumes of historical patterns and weaves that have been collected from European libraries and private collections for the past half century.
The family-run firm strives to have a low ecological impact, eliminating waste toxins from treated silk and reducing its carbon footprint. “[We do this] not just for style,” the company says, “but – and especially – because in this case, style is synonymous with ethics. We are concerned about the future and protecting our planet. Consequently, we try and do what’s best for the Earth, safe in the knowledge that it belongs as much to us as it does to future generations and we intend to pass it on to them in the same state as it was to us."
