Product Insights
The Le 31 Classic Bow Tie offers a satiny, stain-resistant microfibre that mimics the look of silk at a fraction of the cost, but feels scratchy compared to silk. It is suitable for semi-formal and modern black-tie events, though not traditional black-tie, and has been used by women as a festive accessory. The pre-tied adjustable band fits most neck sizes securely and retains its shape and color through machine washing.

- Care
Machine wash cold, air dry, mild detergent only, no bleach or softener.
Why this is supported
The 100% microfibre construction allows machine washing on cold gentle cycle.
They can be hand-washed or machine-washed with cold water and mild detergent.
yilitie.comBleach and fabric softener damage the fibers, so only mild detergent should be used, as alynn.com cautions.
Do not use Bleach. Microfiber products do not like bleach, bleach breaks down the polyester and polyamide micro-filaments, rendering them less effective.
alynn.comThe fabric is naturally wrinkle-resistant, but if creasing occurs, low-heat steam or a cool iron can refresh it; high heat melts the fibers.
In addition, they do not require ironing since they are wrinkle-resistant by nature.
yilitie.comToo much heat from the iron can melt the fibers and ruin the tie.
