If you see a tie you like here, you’d better buy it quick—Naples-born designer and store owner Dmitry Toscano changes out his patterns every month. Hanging beneath black-and-white photos of Italian cities is his collection of 100 percent silk neckwear ($52). The light-blue solid and polka- dot ties are popular with those in the corporate scene, while Toscano’shis skinnier styles attract the well-dressed cool crowd. And just past the Vespa parked in the middle of the store is a wall of New Zealand designer Lorenzo Uomo’s colorful socks ($14). Though this store is mostly for men, ladies can stock up on bright neck scarves ($10) and Nesti Dante soaps ($12). If you feel the need to buy more than one of something here, you’ll save some money, too: Everything is priced both individually and as duos or trios (e.g.,such as two soaps for $20 or 3 ties for $99).
