This blue paisley necktie has a particular finish, with just a fragment of the famous silk shine remaining. The sericin – the protein liquid in silk that provides the shine – has been removed in Meandro, by means of fermentation!! to achieve a semi-matte, luxurious (non-)sheen. If you look up handsome in an encyclopaedia, you might just find a picture of this fabulous Italian silk necktie, as an example.
