Kiton
Kiton is an Italian luxury clothing company renowned for its obsession with quality and handmade suits. The name "Kiton" derives from "chiton," the ceremonial garment worn by ancient Greek aristocrats.
Heritage
Founded by fifth-generation fabric merchant Ciro Paone, Kiton was created with a single mission: to produce the best suits in the world. The company is a guardian of the Neapolitan tailoring tradition.
Craftsmanship
Each Kiton suit is entirely handmade by master tailors in their Naples workshop. The signature Neapolitan shoulder ("spalla camicia") is soft and unpadded, allowing for natural movement. They use exclusive fabrics, including vicuña and ultra-fine wools.
Philosophy
"The best of the best, plus one." This is Ciro Paone's motto. Kiton is dedicated to an absolute, uncompromising standard of quality, preserving an artisanal tradition that is at risk of disappearing.
