Our company
Antartide S.r.l. is a textile atelier based in Como, founded in 1990, specializing in the development and production of high-end ties, scarves, pocket squares and refined textile accessories, entirely made in Italy.
The company operates within the Como silk district, collaborating with historic weaving mills and manufacturers, and combines technical expertise, artisanal care and production flexibility, offering both ready-to-ship solutions and dedicated or private label projects.
Antartide works primarily with silk (jacquard and printed), silk–wool blends and other noble fibres, overseeing every stage of the process: from material selection and design development to final manufacturing.
Its approach is strongly consultancy-oriented, supporting clients in defining products that are coherent with their identity and the requirements of their target markets.
Thanks to a reliable service and accessible minimum quantities, Antartide collaborates with brands, boutiques, tailors and institutional clients in Italy and abroad, exporting most of its production.
Each project is born from attentive listening and developed with balance, respecting Italian manufacturing tradition and a contemporary vision of the product.
