Product Insights
The Blick Silk Bow Tie is a self-tie moiré silk bow tie offering an affordable entry into the silk formal tradition at 79 CAD. Moiré silk carries a formal pedigree from 19th-century court uniforms and is a recognized black-tie fabric, appropriate for white-tie events. The moiré effect is a permanent watermark created by calendering silk, giving a watermarked texture that shifts and shimmers with movement. The black variant's moiré is more subtle, while the white variant's brighter moiré is non-traditional for white-tie. Care requires dry cleaning to preserve the shimmer, as spot cleaning damages the silk and moiré finish.

De qualité.
Facile à boucler.
listed as silk, more like taffeta
Looked great on and even better my 17 yr old figured out how to tie it himself! Only thing I wasn’t expecting was the water-marked detail of taffeta.
