The koi fish has been regarded for centuries in both China and Japan as a powerful symbol of strength, perseverance, and overcoming adversity. Many people regard these beautiful creatures simply as symbols of good fortune and luck. Whatever you believe, this hand painted silk necktie is the only one of its kind - there is no other tie like this in the world! Rich crimson red, deep jet black, a slightly metallic gold and the pure white of the silk all combine to create a striking look that is sure to turn heads.

The 19.5mm silk charmeuse necktie measures 4”x60” and has been sewn with 100% silk thread.
---How This Was Crafted----
This one of a kind accessory was created using layers of custom-blended, professional dyes and non-toxic black resist, which was applied by hand using a squeeze bottle with a fine-tip applicator. It has been painted entirely freehand, no stencils or tracing, and is the only one of its kind in the world!
---Care Instructions----
Dry cleaning is suggested for the necktie to ensure the inner lining maintains its shape.
----Quality---
All of my accessories are made to last a lifetime if cared for properly. They are painted with professional-grade silk dyes, then steam set for five hours for ultimate performance and wear. Unlike paints that sit on the surface of the silk, dyes chemically bond with the silk fibers during the steaming process, yielding the most brilliant colors possible.
