The character of this accessory lies in its prestigious jacquard silk with a “Reps” weave, featuring an exceptionally high density (116 threads per centimeter) and the iconic fine raised ribs. This distinctive texture gives the color a vibrant structure, combined with a remarkable tactile richness. The result of 45 minutes of meticulous handcrafting, the precious outer silk envelops an inner core of pure wool, ensuring impeccable drape and perfect shape. The masterpiece is sealed on the back with the iconic ‘X’ stitch, the unmistakable signature of the Maison’s artisanal excellence.

Style Tips

The “Reps” weave, with its unmistakable ribbed texture, gives the solid color a rigorous and highly distinctive elegance:

• Business Authority: This is the perfect weave for conveying strength, confidence, and authority. It pairs flawlessly with structured tailored suits and works beautifully with poplin or twill shirts, creating a refined contrast of textures.
• Everyday Elegance: Unlike smooth, glossy silk, the Reps weave has a more tactile and structured appearance, making it exceptionally versatile for daytime formal wear. It always ensures a polished, professional look.
• The Ideal Knot: The ribbed texture combined with the wool core provides excellent grip. This tie is ideal for creating stable, full, and sculptural knots such as the Half Windsor or the classic Four-in-Hand. Always remember to tighten the knot carefully to form the signature dimple at the center.

Care Instructions

To preserve the beauty of the silk ribs and the internal structure:

• How to Untie: Never remove the tie by pulling the narrow blade through the knot. Always untie it gently by reversing the steps used when tying it.
• Resting the Tie: After use, let it rest either loosely rolled (starting from the narrow end) or hanging on a dedicated tie holder for at least 24 hours. This allows the wool core and silk to naturally recover their shape.
• Washing & Ironing: Dry clean only, using a specialized professional service. Never flatten the tie with an iron: heat and pressure would damage the distinctive Reps ribbed weave and the handcrafted rolled edges.
