Podcast: Como Silks


Nicholas Atgemis, bon vivant founder of Le Noeud Papillon, the Australian tie house, knows a thing or two about necktie silks. His bow ties are exceptionally rich stuff woven in Como, the Italian lakeside town that is one of the remaining European centers of silk production. I asked him to talk to us about how he turns his ideas into reality, which he was kind enough to do in this ten minute podcast. Click on the player to listen to it.

actually theres hardly anything left of Italioan tie production using Italian silk, this means silk derived from Italian silk worms. Most is Chinese worked up for the Italian market. I know this as my friend has a tie factory
