LIMITED EDITION, NUMBER 1 of 8 Seigo Katsuragawa woven silk tie.
Completely Hand-made in Japan!
Seigo Katsuragawa describe their ties as being the BEST-MADE TIES FROM JAPAN... and given the exceptional quality of Japanese luxury goods this perfectly justified claim could readily translate into their being the best ties in the world.
Benefiting immensely from the meticulous Japanese attention to detail, these ties are simply incredible. The woven ties are made from silk that is intricately woven to precise instructions in a traditional mill in Kyoto, a traditional home to woven fabrics use in luxury and ceremonial kimonos. They are they painstakingly hand-folded and then hand-sewn--all in Japan by traditional artisans.
Not content with this, some of Katsuragawa's ties are even more incredible, being expressly limited to editions of 8. To make these ties the Kyoto mill is specially commissioned to produce a very, very small length of woven silk, in a patterning and colourway that will never be repeated. The ties are thus made from this, with any remaining fabric being discarded to ensure their exclusivity.
These ties are then hand-numbered, with the pattern and colourway also being identified by hand.
The limited edition runs are always restricted to 8 ties.
As you can imagine, the weaving of such a small run of silk that can be used for 8 ties is phenomenally expensive, and so the hand-work is extraordinarily meticulous for these ties to do full justice to the exclusivity of the cloth. The ties are thus almost works of art in themselves--and reflect this in both their exclusivity and price.
I am thus delighted to offer one such tie--and not just ANY limited edition tie, but NUMBER 1 of Pattern AD 48 in Color No. G.
This tie is in absolutely excellent condition. It measure 3 11/16 at the widest part of the blade... and is a VERY rare opportunity to acquire one of the best and most exclusive ties in the world.
Asking just $59, OR OFFER, boxed, shipped, and insured in the USA.
