Kiton is an Italian luxury menswear brand founded by Ciro Paone in 1968 in Naples. Often called the most expensive suit in the world, Kiton represents the absolute pinnacle of Neapolitan tailoring tradition.

Each Kiton suit is handmade by master tailors in the brand’s Arzano atelier near Naples, requiring over 25 hours of work and approximately 150 manual operations. The brand produces only around 22,000 garments per year to maintain its exacting standards.

Kiton sources the world’s finest fabrics — including Super 250’s wool and vicuña — and has expanded into womenswear, accessories, and fragrances while remaining true to its artisanal roots.
