Two James Bond-Inspired Bow Ties from Le Noeud Papillon – Bond Suits
It’s black tie season with New Year’s Eve this week. Sartorially inclined Bond fans, however, are excited to wear black tie no matter the season. Nicholas Atgemis, founder of Le Noeud Papillon in Sydney, Australia, approached me about creating a James Bond-inspired bow tie. I suggested looking at the Dr. No bow tie, as it’s one of the character’s most unique and iconic bow ties.
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.
