MArinella Seven-fold
Posted: Wed Sep 13, 2006 5:11 am
Gentlemen,
I was a little bit upset to read from the wonderful book on this Neapolitan tie-maker, that he is not doing real seven-folds anymore, because they are "too costly". What he is selling (RTW at least) is " an interpretation" of seven-fold. If he thinks a real seven-fold comes too expensive, what about Kiton, Attolini, etc.: are they offering real seven-folds or just their interpretations?
Could anyone explain the differences between Marinella's version and a real one? Does anyone know if Marinella makes the traditional one bespokenly?
