Product Insights
The Pontoglio Velvet Bow Tie by Le 31 marries Italian heritage with practical formality: its Pontoglio-milled 100% cotton velvet, with a nap and matte finish, obscures crisp edges under dim light to mimic a self-tied look, while sewn construction and a pre-tied shape retain immaculate form through active wear. Dry cleaning preserves the deep black color and texture; it suits all but white-tie events, with an adjustable metallic clasp (fits neck sizes 14–19 inches) that demands gentle handling for a gap-free fit.
