The Papi-Eco in detail

You can request the Papi-Eco with the customization you want. Very often we are asked to reproduce a drawing, a phrase or simply the initials of the wearer.

The central bow is made with the 3D printing technique and can be of different colors, the most used are brown and white (especially for children who will wear it on the day of their first communion).

The Papillon is complete with an adjustable black or white elastic strap.

Origin and history of Bow tie

The bow tie originated among Croatian mercenaries during the Thirty Years’ War of the 17th century: the Croat mercenaries used a scarf around the neck to hold together the opening of their shirts. This was soon adopted (under the name cravat, derived from the French for “Croat”) by the upper classes in France, then a leader in fashion, and flourished in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is uncertain whether the cravat then evolved into the bow tie and four-in-hand necktie, or whether the cravat gave rise to the bow tie, which in turn led to the four-in-hand necktie

The bow tie is making a comeback at fun-formal events such as dinners, cocktail parties, and nights out on the town. Bow ties are often worn with suits by those trying to convey a more dressed-up, formal image, whether in business or social venues. Bow ties are still generally popular with men of all ages in the American South, having never gone out of fashion there.
