I think I know which shop you mean ... at least, I hope so. There is a wonderful shop with hundreds of wonderful ties. It is located in the little square in front of the baptistery of Siena, at the beginning of "Via dei Fusari".
Hi, I visited Siena 20 years ago and found either one shop, or maybe a couple of shops (yes my memory not as good as it was!) which had the most amazing individual collection of silk ties. I bought 3 and despite being lucky enough to have travelled a fair bit since, I have never found such a unique selection all in one place.
We are going back this Summer and I am hoping that this shop/these shops still exist. Does anyone have any idea which shop(s) I remember?
Many thanks,
Jon

I do not remember the name but you can't miss it! On this little square in front of the baptistery there is a bar with tables outside and this very beautiful shop that sells silk ties for men but also scarves for women - in fact there are two shops; one attached to the other. It is a very antique shop and the ties are of high quality! considering what you have written, I think this could be the place ... I do not know other places! When will you be in Siena? I hope I could help you!

I love a challenge so when I saw this question I put on my Sherlock Holmes hat and went on Google street view. It looks like the shop is called Cravattificio di Siena and it's in Piazza San Giovanni. They have a lovely website for you to enjoy browsing before you go at http://www.cravattificiodisiena.com/ - have fun!
Thank you all for your help, and the 2 shops selling scarves/ties next to each other would explain why I couldn't remember if it was 1 or 2 shops I'd remembered!
Have now got all the details and will pay it a visit - grazie!
