Did you know the tie was born in Croatia?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Back in the 17th century<\/strong>, Croatian soldiers serving in the French army wore distinctive scarves knotted neatly around their necks. Their stylish look caught the eye of Parisians, who began calling it \u201c\u00e0 la Croate<\/strong>\u201d \u2014 meaning \u201cin the Croatian style.\u201d From that moment, the word \u201ccravat<\/strong>\u201d was born, and with it, a global symbol of elegance and sophistication.<\/p>\n
