Kiton scarf in blue with a floral pattern and gray silk back

Ciro Paone has a name 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 developed the family business from a small tailor shop into a globally recognized luxury brand. His secret: personal passion and very personal commitment. From visiting fabric dealers to persuading fashion stores around the world, the patron made Kiton big and famous with his Neapolitan tailoring.

For over 60 years, the traditional company, which now employs 1,000 people, has set itself apart from the monotony of anonymous mass-produced goods with its exclusivity. As a striking example, every Kiton suit is hand-sewn, unlined, with hand-hemmed seams and the typical soft shoulders that are loved in Italy and now around the world.

SOBS Cologne

 

The SOBS company was founded in Cologne in 1995.

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

Owner Oliver Brose has made it his mission to only stock 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 store 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 utmost importance in the owner-managed business. Individual customer advice, custom-made products and changes are offered in the in-house studio upon customer request.

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

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