Octopus Silk Tie Choose Your Color

Description

If you are considering purchasing this item, please read the ENTIRE listing first, so that you can be well-informed about this tie. This listing is for ONE tie. When purchasing this tie, please be sure to note your color choice in the comments field. If you forget, just send me a message. I can't ship your item unless I know what color you would like it in.

All of my ties are made from either a beautiful shantung or dupioni silk. Dupioni is a richly textured silk fabric created from the irregular silk thread formed when two or more silkworms spun entangled cocoons. This silk thread is naturally slubby, uneven and fibrous. When it is woven, these characteristics are evident in the fabric's surface qualities. This gives dupioni silk its uniquely organic, natural charm. Shantung is very similar to dupioni, but it has a smoother, sleeker surface quality with a more refined and less raw look and hardly any slubbiness.

This tie is made completely from scratch, by me. (It is NOT purchased pre-sewn and then printed). It is screen printed with an ornate octopus design. The image is printed using an acrylic permanent textile ink and the print has been heat-set.

Measurements of the tie:

56 inches long from end to end
4 inches wide at bottom front
1.5 inches wide at opposite end

Octopus design
12 inches tall
