Sometimes you see a tie that makes you wish you had to wear ties more often. Such is the case with House of Manfred (who claim residency in Sydney, Paris and Karachi).

Made in Italy of, wait for it, Italian silk, the patterns are something quite extraordinary, and the attitude which accompanies Manfred, something else again:

He’s independent of means, and independent of spirit. A gambler, and a womanizer, he’s the lovable rogue. Sure, he’s made mistakes, and had his share of tragedy.

It’s hard to imagine one could ever look very roguish in a tie (especially a pink, floral one) – regardless of how many sepia nudes adorn the lining. But it beats a pink, floral tie WITHOUT sepia nudes.
