Kiton is a luxury ready-to-wear and bespoke clothing company co-founded in 1956 as CIPA in Naples, Italy by Ciro Paone, a fifth-generation fabric merchant, and Antonio Carola. Launched in 1968, the brand gets its name from the Greek word ''chiton'', a sewn garment worn by the Greeks that the Romans later called a tunic. Antonio De Matteis is the CEO and Antonio Paone, is President of Kiton USA. They are both nephews of the co-founder, Ciro Paone. The company's motto is ''ll meglio del meglio più uno'', the best of the best plus one. ==Production== In 2007, the company produced about 20,000 men's suits per year. Kiton employs about 330 tailors. Most suits take approximately 25 hours of labor, with at least 45 tailors contributing to each one.

The CIPA line is a capsule line of suits made from vintage ‘60s-era fabrics, which are cut with slim and contemporary silhouettes.〔 Known as the world's most expensive suits, made to measure (bespoke) suits reach above US $20,000〔 and up to US$ 50,000 for the "K-50" line, so called because of the number of production hours per piece and the number of units produced per year.
