Sruli Recht x Bow-tie

Posted on January 20, 2009 Under Fashion

You may recall the name Sruli Recht from such past wonderful design innovations as the Umbuster and the Bound Skarf. The latter — a lengthy accessory of over nine feet — was harvested from the rarest of cottons woven only by the Lantaan people on the border between Laos and Burma. You’d think that after creating a collection of scarves that impressive in length, there’d hardly be a scrap left to even fashion of pair of shoelaces. As it turns out, there were some leftovers. Not content to let such resources go to waste, the Iceland-based design wiz came up with yet another wearable wonder. This time, the remaining thin slivers of fiber were forged into the another desirable addition for the dapper dresser, a bow-tie. Available in both Indigo and Sandstone, these uncommon accessories are sure to add a hint of wordly allure to any formal ensemble. Pick up yours soon, as it may be a while before someone visits the Lantaans and gathers more of this scarce fabric.
