Altea

The phrase "sartorial splendor" probably didn't come from Giuseppe Sartori's name, but it could have come from the line of Altea ties he founded. Late in the 18th century, Giuseppe Sartori opened a tie shop in what would become the epicenter of the fashion world – Milan. From the first silk tie that emerged from his workshop, Sartori's ties displayed the understated elegance and extraordinary good taste that eventually defined the Altea line. Today, each Altea tie painstakingly and lovingly crafted of some of the finest silk in the world.
