Vintage Hermes silk tie

I love the colours in this beautiful vintage Hermès silk tie. Made in France, this tie features the copyright Hermès symbol. The pattern includes a purple-coloured city skyline by night against an olive green background sprinkled with subtle white dots. Ladies, you can wear ties in a number of ways….. as belts, draped loosely around the neck and clipped together (like a necklace); as a head-band or simply as a traditional knotted tie.  There is some slight fading in parts (see images) but nothing that detracts from the overall aesthetic. This tie has been professionally dry-cleaned.

About the designer: Hermès

Hermès International, the French high-end luxury fashion goods brand, was founded in 1837. Since the 1950s, the company’s logo has been of a Duc carriage with horse. The company introduced silk scarves to their range in 1937, which have been worn by Queen Elizabeth II, Grace Kelly (who used on the scarves as a sling for her broken arm in 1956); Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Audrey Hepburn. The company introduced their first range of silk neckties in 1946.
