Way back in 1830 the French writer Honoré De Balzac expressed, in the "Treaty on the Tie", a few ideas about how to create a tie with a reduced size and knotted ina particular way: the bow tie.
Subsequently revised thanks to Giacomo Puccini, in the opera "Madame Butterfly ", this garment gets a huge success and is named after the French “nœud papillon”.
Since then, it has used to be worn with a black tuxedo black, up to the present day, in which it is reproposed and combined in several variations.
La Seta di Como offers different types of bow ties: knotted or unknotted, with different sizes and cuts.
