What is E. Marinella?
E. Marinella is a historic Neapolitan tie maker founded in Naples in 1914. The founder, grandfather of current president Maurizio Marinella, wanted to create a small corner of England in Naples, and the shop's early offer included imported English goods such as Aquascutum raincoats, Floris perfumes and Lock hats.
History
The business has passed from the founder to his son Luigi, then to Maurizio Marinella, and on to Maurizio's son, the fourth generation. The original shop opposite the city's public gardens remains the heart of the brand.
Products and positioning
Marinella is best known for made-to-measure ties, alongside shirts. Its signature silk is produced in England using traditional methods and printed by hand rather than digitally, and Maurizio Marinella travels to England regularly to draw and print new designs.

Why it matters
