Product Insights
The Sequined Black Bow Tie by Mani del Sud delivers formal elegance through a subtle shimmer suited for black-tie events, avoiding costume glitter. It offers an adjustable fit for neck circumferences from 30 to 50 cm via an elastic band and metallic clasp, though frequent use may require the clasp to compensate for elastic relaxation. Constructed from wrinkle- and tear-resistant polyester with sewn-on sequins, it is durable and easy to clean—hand wash cold, dry clean, or spot clean. At 395 CAD, it provides a 9% savings compared to Armani's sequin tie while delivering similar sheen under ballroom lighting. The included signature case protects sequins during storage, and its wrinkle resistance eliminates ironing needs.
