I am away all of February so please, keep an eye out on Instagram in the interim as hopefully I will be getting access to Japanese yuzen silk makers, knife and scissor makers and much much more. If you need me before I go, +61413140994 will get straight through to me. 

Of course, it is humbling, because the truth of it is that I am a small cog in a bigger wheel, I can't have this moniker without my seamstresses, without the silk weavers, without the metal accessories makers I work with, without my secret interlinings and those that make them, and, without you, the customer, who chooses us over all the others they might engage. 

Mr Atgemis is one of the world’s foremost neckwear artisans and produces some of the finest bow ties and accessories in the world. He designs his bow ties with an artistic eye for detail, and he clearly has a lot of fun doing so. The bow ties are handmade in Australia to the highest standards, and they revealed to me a quality of bow tie I never knew existed. They arrive packaged in beautiful boxes wrapped in a ribbon and include a card inside with instructions on how to tie a bow tie, making these bow ties an excellent gift.
