I was recently gifted me some of the most beautiful Hermès ties I have ever seen, well more of a collection really, 35 in all. They were acquired in the 70’s and the  previous owner seems to prefer a wider tie, notoriously Hermès tie are quite thin, lucky for me. The silk prints are no longer available, which really makes them more interesting.  Kept very well, they have been sitting in his cupboard  waiting for a new home. One thing which is excited me about these vintage ties is they have such extraordinary designs, clouds, kangaroos, birds, citys, locks.,dogs, hunters and pandas to name a few.

They remind me of the original Wall Street, as the knot created with a four-in-hand is quite small. A few of them are a little ostentatious to say the least, but with a blue suit and white shirt, they can look quite attractive. I’ve added a few to my already overflowing tie rack, and have been sporting them quite alot recently.

I am selling them individually to a few guys in Australia and the UK, but if you would be interested in picking up a few or the whole collection do let me know. I have been in discussions with a few auction houses, but I would prefer the ties to go to a good home, to people who would actually appreciate them for what they are, and perhaps keep the family together.
