Kiton scarf in green with floral pattern and gray silk backing

Ciro Paone is well known in Naples, even though he has long since left the business to his daughter Maria Giovanna Paone, her sister Raffaella and their cousins ​​Antonio and Silverio Paone. Strict, clever, stubborn in the best sense of the word, he has developed the family business from a small bespoke tailoring shop to a luxury brand recognized worldwide. His secret: Personal passion and very personal commitment. From visiting the fabric store to persuading fashion stores around the world, the patron has made Kiton great and famous with his Neapolitan tailoring.

For more than 60 years, the traditional company, which today employs 1000 people, has set itself apart from the monotony of anonymous mass-produced goods with its exclusivity. As a prime example, every suit from Kiton is hand-sewn, unlined, with hand-hemmed seams and the typical soft shoulders that are loved in Italy and now all over the world.

SOBS Cologne

 

SOBS was founded in Cologne in 1995.

After a successful first few years, in 2003 we moved to the more than 200m² large, inviting premises at Hahnenstraße 10 in the heart of Cologne city centre. Since then, the shop has been easily accessible between Neumarkt and Rudolfplatz, near Mittelstrasse. The modern and luxuriously equipped premises offer the perfect setting to present the first-class products.

Owner Oliver Brose has made it his goal to only carry the highest quality Italian fashion brands for men. The aim is to interpret classic and handmade Italian men's fashion in a modern and contemporary way.

In this luxury segment, the SOBS shop offers a selection that is almost unique in Germany. In addition to the luxury range of over 25 brands, service and customer satisfaction are of the utmost importance in the owner-managed business. Individual customer advice, custom-made products and changes are offered in the in-house workshop on customer request.

In 2012, with the launch of SOBS' own internet shop, customers are given the opportunity to purchase luxury items conveniently and easily online.

In Cologne and beyond the borders of the Rhineland, SOBS men's fashion is a unique institution with a distinctive interior and a unique range of brands.
