The Select Series from Vittorio J
The Select Series from Vittorio J
Vittorio J’s latest limited edition is the Select Series, a crop of 85 ties produced in three-fold silk with genuine Italian manufacturing—and rendered unique by a quirk of production.
Innovations include new patterns and a slimmer profile (3.35 inches) but an extra detail comes from an unlikely source: a factory error. Despite being three-fold, the ties were mistakenly labeled as seven-fold at the factory, resulting in an early halt to production.
At 85 ties, the resulting series is one of the smallest runs in neckwear history. 90% of the series is composed of genuine one-of-a-kind items, and no pattern in the series is repeated more than twice. Combined with the standard Vittorio J signatures of saddle stitching, high-quality NAPOLI + TELA lining and old world craftsmanship, the result is a line of collectible neckwear items unlike anything else on the market.
35 of the 85 ties have been claimed by a private collector, but the remaining 50 will be available through Mary Theresa Sciandra, owner of Regal Threads, while supplies last. The MSRP for the Select Series is $125-$175. To view the entire collection, please visit Vittorio J’s official Facebook page, www.facebook.com/vittoriojties
LimoLand is the brainchild of its European founder, Jean “Johnny” Pigozzi. Frustrated that he couldn’t find clothing that matched his colorful and casual aesthetic, Johnny created LimoLand in 2007. As founder and creative director, Johnny is the heart and soul of the brand, which represents the culmination of his many years collecting and creating art, working with colors and prints, and travelling the world. Luxurious and free-spirited, splashed with quirky patterns and bright colors, LimoLand is a lifestyle brand for individuals who, like Johnny, “LIVE TO CREATE”
