E. Marinella is an Italian necktie company founded by Eugenio Marinella in 1914 in Naples [1] in a small shop of just 20 square meters.
The brand has standalone stores in Naples, Milan, Rome and Tokyo. The brand is also sold in New York at the Bergdorf Goodman Building. [2]
Each tie is handmade and unique. Today, the company is run by Eugenio's grandson, Maurizio Marinella, and his son, Alessandro Marinella.
In 1914 Eugenio Marinella decided to open a shop in Piazza Vittoria on Riviera di Chiaia, in Naples. Gradually, the boutique becomes a point of reference for elegance. In the 1980s the name Marinella began to land outside the Italian borders thanks to the President of the Republic Francesco Cossiga who took the habit of bringing a box containing five Marinella ties as a gift to the heads of state on his official visits. [3] Eugenio and then Luigi Marinella personally went to England to choose the fabrics for their ties and shirts. The whole boutique in Naples was made by Eugenio Marinella with English materials, including the door jambs. [4] E. Marinella ties were part of the ITEMS: Is Fashion Modern? exhibit at MoMA in New York from October 1, 2017–January 28, 2018. [5]
Politicians such as Barack Obama, John F. Kennedy, Bill Clinton, Nicolas Sarkozy, Boris Yeltsin, Silvio Berlusconi, Jacques Chirac and Hosni Mubarak have worn Marinella ties, [6] as have King Juan Carlos, King Charles, Gianni Agnelli, Prince Albert of Monaco, [7] and Aristotle Onassis.
In addition to ties, E. Marinella also sells bags, watches, cologne, accessories and cufflinks for men. Their line of women's products include bags, scarves, perfumes and accessories. [8]
