Paisley


No collection is complete without a couple of Paisley silk ties. We sifted through many hundreds of archives stemming back many decades and finally selected something that had the right colour, pattern and texture combinations. Depending on the warp and weft, the background and fore ground dominate alternatively as you turn the tie into the light. An array of different colours emanate from the paisley patterns, this is caused by the way satin silk is floated to the surface during weaving processes.
