I think their ties are made by the same factory that makes ties for Granqvist in Stockholm. I'd advise you to support local business with an excellent reputation instead. Plus it's cheaper!
Viola Milano owns their own factory. They make ties for several brands. If what you're saying is true, Viola Milano produces for Granqvist. Not the other way around.

Tom, the owner of Viola Milano is Swedish and last I heard, they were planning to produce ties for Ralph Lauren and other high end brands as well that are frequently featured on SF.

At sale prices €65-70, you're hard pressed to find more bang for the buck, imo.

Yet his business practices are the very opposite of Swedish - no return policy on sale items goes against EU laws and they can end up in troubles for refusing a return.
Sure. Nevertheless, several members here are probably buying from brands that have their ties produced by Viola Milano. So while throwing a shadow on the company, they're supporting it indirectly through other brands. Such as Granqvist apparently. How can they and their customers be considered sitting on the moral high horse whilst having their ties made by Viola Milano which they know are practising bad business?

However, this is not in defense of Viola Milano. Wrong is wrong. But I have no intention straying away from the subject either. My purpose was to provide my recent experience dealing with the company. And it was excellent.

Dear Sir, it is false. I am an italian tie maker, I make ties for Granquist. Tom is a seller, he doesn't have a factory, Viola Milano factory doesn't exist, it is only markenting.
