Kiton is more than a brand—it is the embodiment of sartorial excellence born in Naples in 1968, founded by visionary tailor Ciro Paone. With the guiding principle “the best of the best +1,” Kiton sets a standard that goes beyond perfection, becoming a global ambassador of Italian craftsmanship.
The name itself, Kiton, draws inspiration from the chiton, the ceremonial garment worn by ancient Greeks to honor the gods—a tribute to heritage, dignity, and timeless style.
Today, the company is proudly led by the second and third generations of the Paone family, who continue to uphold and evolve its founding values with passion and integrity.
Each garment is a masterpiece, meticulously handmade by master tailors who have inherited generations of artisanal knowledge. With needle and thread, they transform the world’s most precious fabrics—pure vicuña, cashmere, fine wools, and silks—into icons of understated luxury.
Wearing Kiton means embracing a philosophy where elegance is not seasonal, but eternal.
