Founded in 1968 by visionary Ciro Paone in Arzano, near Naples, Kiton has become a global icon of elegance. Its name, inspired by the ancient Greek chiton - a tunic worn in homage to the gods - reflects the brand’s devotion to beauty, ritual, and timeless style. At the heart of Kiton lies an unwavering pursuit of excellence: the best of the best +1. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted by artisans using noble fabrics such as pure vicuña, cashmere, superfine wools, and silks - more than garments, they are wearable works of art.
Rooted in the Neapolitan tailoring tradition, Kiton fuses heritage with innovation through advanced textile research, evolving silhouettes, and forward-thinking craftsmanship. Its Tailoring School ensures the legacy continues, training new generations in the brand’s savoir-faire.
Beyond craftsmanship, Kiton is a family story. Ciro Paone’s passion for beauty and precision lives on through his descendants, who continue to guide the brand with the same spirit and values. With five manufacturing sites in Italy and a team of 800 -over half master craftsmen - Kiton sells in 73 countries, with a network of over 60 monobrand stores worldwide.
