Mulberry Tartan Silk Tie with Orchid & Aurora Crystal Lines

Product Description

This tie puts a glamorous spin on a classic tartan. It’s woven in a soft twill of orchid pink, deep mulberry, navy and dove grey, with fine cream and metallic gold threads that catch the light along the plaid lines. Rows of clear aurora borealis and soft orchid crystals follow the stripes diagonally across the blade. They’re set close together near the knot and thin out to single strands lower down. Near the tip there’s a woven heraldic crest in tonal purple, with a shield and supporters, which adds a crafted, collegiate touch. At the very point is a small gold-tone metal accent, a subtle finishing detail.

Fashion Guide

Tartan usually reads as heritage and country style, but the jewel tones and crystals here make it right for dressier events. It’s a great choice for autumn and winter weddings, holiday parties and festive dinners. It also works for smart-casual evenings when you want a bit of personality. Navy and charcoal suits pick up the darker checks, and a grey flannel or tweed jacket brings out its traditional side. Choose a white or pale pink shirt.

Care Guide

• Dry clean only, and let your cleaner know about the crystal embellishments
• Store rolled or hung flat so the silk and settings stay in shape
• Keep perfume, cologne and lotion away from the silk and crystals
• If pressing is needed, iron on low heat on the reverse side with a cloth between

Styling Notes

Try it with a navy suit, a crisp white shirt and a pocket square in dusty rose or soft grey. Brown suede shoes or burgundy loafers suit the tie’s heritage feel.
