Some crafts have almost disappeared, and making ties by hand is one of them. That’s why I love telling you about Marco Pascali: a Barcelona house that has been cutting, sewing and finishing ties by hand with Italian silk since 1973. It’s one of Spain’s oldest tie makers.
What is it? A Barcelona brand of handmade silk accessories: ties, bow ties, pocket squares and scarves.
Why I like it Over 50 years of craft, a workshop with artisans in Barcelona and silk from the best Italian mills.

Over 50 years making ties in Barcelona
Marco Pascali was born in 1973. Its founder, Don Marco, had spent over 15 years in the tie trade, and his first collection went so well that it pushed him to keep going. In the seventies and eighties the house added pocket squares, silk scarves and its first groom’s accessories.
Since then it has launched more than a hundred collections and made over ten million ties. Well-known brands have commissioned their accessories from it, and today its pieces sell in boutiques across Europe and online.
Made by hand, one by one
The house has its own atelier and showroom in Barcelona, with a team of more than 25 artisans. Every tie is cut, sewn and finished by hand, the fabrics come from Italy’s most renowned silk mills, and each piece is checked before it leaves the workshop. Today there are over 200 designs of ties, bow ties, pocket squares and scarves.
