Postiglione is a town of 2000 people, clinging to the side of a mountain in Southern Italy. It's a gorgeous little place, and on a clear day, you can see the coast, and the city of Salerno, some 20 miles away. If the weather is really clear, you can see the island of Capri, more than 45 miles away. In this town, some of the finest neckties in the world are made. All by hand, one by one. These are the wonderful ties of the Volare Collection. 35 years ago, Rosanna and Luigi Monaco started a small company in Milan. Rosanna was the Master Tailor, and her husband took care of business aspects. Luigi really missed his native Postiglione, and after a few years, the growing family moved south, back to the small mountain town where he grew up. Thirty years later, Rosanna and Luigi are fortunate to have 3 of their sons, Daniele, Diego, and Ivan, working with them - the Volare Collection is a real family business. To make a necktie all by hand is a very time-consuming task: A full half metre of the finest silk from Como is cut, folded and stitched by hand, every step painstakingly performed by one of our 16 master tailors. This is how you make a tie in the region of Postiglione, and you and your customers will see and feel the difference. Every Volare tie uses only the finest vowen Jacquard designs, which are created by the Volare design staff in Como - the world's "Silk Capitol". The silk for Volare ties gets special treatment all throughout the manufacturing process, ending with a final wash with French "Savon de Marseille", or Marseille Soap. This is why all Volare ties have that extra lustre and brilliance that other ties lack. All Volare neckties feature handcrafted details such as pure virgin wool lining, a silk loop, a visible slip-stitch and a hand-made bar tack. The tipping is also made of finest silk, with black and white photographs from daily life in Postiglione. The master tailors who make these ties have every reason to be proud of their work - and they are: Every Volare tie is numbered, and the tailor notes the completion date and put their signature on the tie. Their signature four and seven-fold ties really show the incomparable quality of the neckties made in Postiglione. thar is why companies like Salvatore Ferragamo, Gucci and Pal Zileri trust us to manufacture ties for them. The Volare Collection offers a fresh approach to sartorial elegance. Volare neckties are available in the finest boutiques in Italy and in many countries around the world. When you see and feel the Volare Collection neckties, you will agree with us tha Postiglione and Volare are important words in any tie-lovers sartorial vocabulary.

Arrivederci,
