Sitting on the edge of Myer’s Park in the heart of Auckland, Parisian has been turning out exceptional men’s accessories for 100 years.

Their story begins on a train journey across America, a voyage in search for a new idea. Their founder met a gentleman who showed him how the modern tie was made. A sketch on a napkin was tucked into his pocket and traveled with him back home to New Zealand.

Four generations of craft have culminated in Parisian’s centenary collection – named 1919 after the year the founder’s daughter Ruby put the finishing touches on the first tie, a century ago.

The 1919 tie collection is a celebration of opulent silks woven in a uniquely indulgent colour palette. Each tie is hand finished and numbered as part of a limited release.

The belt collection showcases leathers from both New Zealand and Italy, each transformed in our inner city workroom into true investment pieces that stand the test of time.
