La Citadine – Black silk with geometric motifs

Silk tie, black with petrol blue and burgundy geometric motifs

A black silk tie, lifted by small geometric motifs in colour. It is worn with a grey or navy suit and a white or sky blue shirt.

The pattern: A graphic design: a finely striated petrol blue parallelogram, joined to nested burgundy and blue angles, like the steps of a staircase. The motifs repeat in staggered rows, well spaced, on a deep black ground; from a distance, the tie remains dark, flecked with touches of blue.

The material: 100% silk.

The make: Handmade. Width 8 cm.
