What a great find! I was strolling through the streets of Rome and the window display caught my eye. Actually one particular tie did, it had little itty bitty snails on them - so adorable. I opted to go into the small shop to see what sort of ties they carried as well as prices. To my surprise they had so many ties to choose from and in all price ranges, from extremely low to over the top high prices. The gentlemen who was working the store was fantastic. He walked me to a section of ties explaining about the ties, how they were 100% Italian silk made in Italy. He let me look at the selection of ties, I picked a few out then he fashioned them around the top to show how it would look if they were tied. I picked 2 that were 26 Euros each which was a fantastic price, he packaged them up then asked if it was ok to put their seal on the packaging to close it so I didn't have to worry about gift wrapping the ties as it was basically already done.
What I liked was the wide range of ties and pricing and that the salesman did not try to sell me the most expensive ties. He was a great salesman!
My brother loved the ties, which makes me wish I would've bought a few more while there.
They also take a variety of credit cards, including American Express, which I was pleased with since it seemed like most places in Europe were not accepting my American Express Platinum card.
If you are in this neighborhood and know someone or several individuals who wear ties I would suggest stopping by and checking them out. Even if you don't think they need a tie or you don't know anyone, they have a large variety at prices to fit everyone's wallet and you can always buy a few for that "just in case" moment and you need a gift. read more
