The timeless production
of Fumeo Carlo

Fumeo is a story that began almost a hundred years ago, in 1932 as a silk hosiery factory. In 1933, Carlo Fumeo was sent to Germany to buy new looms and noticed one for knitting silk ties. The company thus began making premium ties and just a few years later was already exporting elegant Italian-made ties all over the world for leading international luxury brands and labels. The entrepreneurial spirit and the courage to pass on a precious heritage have driven the new generation to turn Fumeo Carlo’s long history into a brand.

This is where the reinterpretation of tradition comes in. Approaching and thinking about products in a new way has led to the creation of a new image that encompasses all the style, ethics and production of Fumeo Carlo today. The products are a real cult item for those who love men’s accessories. Indeed, Fumeo Carlo re-proposes the great classics of men’s fashion by positioning them in the contemporary world and adapting the way they are designed. The product thus becomes timeless, versatile, fluid. The knitted materials from which the accessories are made convey the elegance of Italian tailoring yet, at the same time, adapt to casual wear and express individual style. The knit used to make all the collections is a point of strength and uniqueness. Ideal for formal use but also easily adapted for casual wear and leisure wear, these accessories are designed for stylish outfits that can also be fun and out of the ordinary.

The tie, bow tie, braces and belt are no longer mere accessories but become part of the layers of a man’s outfit that can enrich and embellish as well as downplay style. Fumeo Carlo is also committed to constantly generating positive change for the planet at every stage of the production chain. The accessories are made from premium natural and organic fibres such as silk, cotton and cashmere, which tell a story of research and connections that, knot by knot, link the skills of so many craftspeople. Research and testing of new sustainable fibres and yarns, such as Tencel, is also ongoing.
