HISTORY: In 1945 Luciano Poppa was working in a small tailor shop in Firenze. When his employer decided to retire, Luciano scraped together his life savings to buy his employer’s tailoring business.
Then he purchased a machine that made neckties, and this became his entre into the tie manufacturing business. Through hard work he opened a small factory. There he created the ALCIONE label which quickly became known for its high quality and flawless workmanship. After completing his business degree in the UK in 1984, Luciano’s son, Antonio, joined his father in the business.

As the brand’s reputation grew, ALCIONE became the major manufacturer of ties for renowned designers such as YSL, Armani, Pierre Cardin, Gucci, Hermes, Versace, Celine & Valentino. It took 45 years, but by 1990, ALCIONE was the number two necktie supplier in the world!
