We've been hauling back in the TieLab - new colors, textures and fabrics have brought even more fun to the little ol' cravat.

The next few are a series of one of a kind ties based on victorian wallpaper patterns, all made with handmade fabric. The brown and pink ties below are appliqued with a twill where the motif has been burnt out by hand with a bleach solution, rendering each one completely unique. The edges are distressed adding more texture against the fine silk.

This is from the same pattern as above, but the design is instead block printed onto antique damask with black and red rubber (not natural liquid latex which degrades).

And finally here are some new takes on designs already seen here - the Heart Attack tie is now available on 100% black silk with red ink - $40.

And we have afew new colors for the gas mask ties - charcoal, sky blue (shown) and a lighter olive green:

So we're pretty thrilled to be making all these new pieces, and are really looking forward to getting the site up and running, it's almost there!
