Last year I noticed very unique neck pieces made of ties on etsy.com by Lilian Asterfield. These neckpieces are really designed to make in impact. I shared them on my blog last year, and today I want to show you their new collection of hand dyed pieces. Hand dyed satin silk neckties are hand-ruffled, hand-stitched and formed into Katherine, one of their most popular designs, hanging much like a necklace of ruffles.
Katherine in Lemon & Gray, and Katherine In Midnight embellished with Luxuriously Swarovski rivoli crystals and lined in Midori ribbon.
Specialty vintage ascots are hand crafted re-fashioning rare vintage neckties from the Lilian Asterfield‘s curated collection. Each necktie is hand selected for it’s unique colors and patterns and feature rare vintage buttons.
