They also play a role in strengthening blood ties.

Tie Your Tie, a renowned menswear store recognized by both itself and others, was founded in 1984. With the message, "Tie your tie"—with the desire for men to establish their own style—the store opened in Florence's Centro Storico (historic city center in urban planning) was truly modest, but it quickly captivated men.

Tie Your Tie was the only company Kiton allowed to create a bespoke model using the founder's name, Ciro Paone, but there are countless other examples like it. At Pitti Uomo, the menswear trade show, Kiton was considered a compass for predicting trends, and every move it made headlines. Japanese shoemakers began to attract global attention after Franco discovered Hidetaka Fukaya (Fukaya was the first Japanese shoemaker to open a bespoke fashion house in Florence in 2005).


In a place with a short history and not a bustling commercial district, the reason for achieving such fame can only be attributed to Franco's refined aesthetic sense, which is undeniably undeniable. Tie Your Tie's collections are born from the finest fabrics, sophisticated designs, and traditional production methods that are true to his aesthetic. Production is still carried out by women who live in that town.

Leonardo was the unsung hero who supported everything from behind the scenes. I'm not just talking about his role as a business partner; he also indirectly contributed to strengthening the bonds of family.

"My mother remarried Franco, and Simone's wife is my real sister."
