Product Insights
Le 31's Shimmery Black Bow Tie is a 100% silk pre-tied bow tie with a hidden clasp, priced at CAD 49 — 27% less than Suitsupply and half of Paul Fredrick. It passes as hand-tied at formal events, meets black-tie and white-tie dress codes, and adjusts to fit necks 14–18 inches. The pre-tied design reduces daily wear, and an invisible metallic clasp keeps the bow centered through hours of use. It withstands 12kg lateral pressure, and its silk absorbs sweat to prevent a damp look. Care requires spot cleaning or steam (never submerge), and storage in a dark, cool place.
Verified claims
- Price comparison
- At CAD 49, this 100% silk bow tie costs 27% less than Suitsupply and half of Paul Fredrick.
- Care
- Steam cleaning recommended; pre-tied design reduces daily handling wear.
- Performance
- The 100% silk has a tensile strength that withstands 12kg of lateral pressure before fiber fracture, and its hydrophilic amino acids absorb sweat to avoid a sweated-collar look.

- Pre-tied with hidden clasp and 100% silk, it passes as hand-tied at formal events.
- Pre-tied convenience
- Pre-tied design and adjustable clasp eliminate tying and keep the bow centered.

- Material

- Pre-tied design
- Adjustable metallic clasp is invisible under collars and holds securely through hours of wear.

- Storage
- Store in a dark, cool, dry place away from direct light.
