Navy Blue Bow Tie with Green Japanese Seigaiha pattern in Silk

This navy blue bowtie with its Japanese pattern in green is made of jacquard silk. This means that the pattern is woven into the silk by mechanically interlacing the warp and weft threads. This ingenious invention from the early nineteenth century revolutionised the work of weavers, prior to which it was quite arduous work. Elegant and durable, jacquard silk is reversible, soft and supple. Bring out the bright green pattern on this navy blue bowtie with a pair of green socks!

Inspired by the "land of the rising sun", the Japanese seigaiha motif − which means "blue sea wave" − is characterised by layers of conical circles. As its name suggests, the seigaiha pattern was used to illustrate seas and oceans on maps. Nowadays it has regained popularity and can be seen in fashion as well as interior design.
