FAQs

About

  • Modern Artistry. Timeless Rebellion. Think of ANNODARE as elegance with a twist. It’s the undone knot on a silk tie, the tailored suit worn with boots, or the vintage blazer styled like it’s always been yours. It’s about balance: intentional but never try-hard. Each piece is a gesture of individuality, fusing vintage design with high fashion edge. It’s silk, knotted not just to wear, but to speak.

  • ANNODARE is Italian for “to tie, to tie together.” There’s something about Italian style that always feels cooler. It’s sharp but never stiff, bold but never loud. The secret? A little word with a lot of history: sprezzatura. The name carries the elegance of tradition yet leaves space for rebellion. Just what ANNODARE stands for.

  • We take cues from Italian nightlife, postmodern art and the raw glamour of vintage style. Every print is a dialogue between past and present, crafted to move with attitude, ANNODARE ties are alive: Made to move, to shift, to be worn with meaning.

Products & Care

  • Every tie is handmade in Italy, crafted in ateliers where silk and stitch have been mastered for generations. It is heritage with attitude, tradition tied forward.

  • ANNODARE works exclusively with 100% Italian silk. The finest mills provide fabrics of unmatched quality, ensuring every tie feels timeless and intentional.

  • Each ANNODARE tie is cut in a timeless proportion designed for unisex styling. Exact measurements are listed on every product page.

  • Treat your tie as you would a work of art. Have it professionally dry cleaned only. When not worn, keep it untied and store it flat or gently rolled so the silk rests in its natural shape.

  • No. Washing would compromise the structure, drape and subtle sheen of the silk. Spot clean gently if needed, or entrust it to a professional dry cleaner who understands silk. This is how your tie keeps its elegance, knot after knot, year after year.
