Style

Again, as I said in a previous post, a long time ago I started a little bow tie company selling in the Paddington Markets and some other markets in fact,...

And WOW, like that it’s become ready for shipping. This is the first image of our new silk pyjamas and there is another one of our Hawaiian shirt sample that...

When men like Fabio Attanasio share their images wearing our products I consider it a great privilege, not a right.  Firstly, it allows our customers and those that follow us...

Some people keep the rugby league or the soccer on in the background, sometimes even Married At First Sight, some absorb themselves into a book, others lay out travel plans, some sink into a piano concerto, others start to sketch, I, on the other hand, find myself making worry beads. 

I wouldn't say we have perfected it but we are on the way towards getting it right, to get it to look exactly like the one pictured on him here, that might be a few iterations off. But if you are interested in having on of the first ones made, text us on +61413140994 or visit the Studio by making an appointment on the same number.

I really didn't expect the food to be this outstanding. I began the night by waiting for friends to arrive and so I did something I never used to be in the habit of, I ordered a beer. The beer was a craft one they made themselves. It was a drop of pure golden water. I ordered another. 

THE LE NOEUD PAPILLON SELF PORTRAIT PRIZE BEGINS TODAY - ENTRIES CLOSE DECEMBER 21, 2025The next competition will have the same  prize. 1000 aud to the winner. 500 rrp vouchers...

We have a winner. Kieran Davis will receive 1000 AUD to his nominated bank account and we will produce this artwork as silk scarf of which he will receive one. What a competition! 

Runners up are Louis Wyeth and Lucy Linton-Smith - each will receive 500 RRP gift vouchers for the website. 

Thank you to everyone who participated. We will be looking forward to the next competition shortly which will be a self-portrait competition focusing heavily on pencil on paper, let's get back to basics. 

By far our most popular shape remains the Majestic Black, it is the go to bow tie for the undecided, the indifferent, the debonair, the regular, the irregular. It just seems to be our Goldilocks. But a few years back with Porter from P Johnson, hence the name, we designed a bow tie named the Porter and over the last few years it has become quite a popular shape. It references a bow tie Porter had found on Richard Gere in the movie American Gigolo, but we tweaked it to make it our own, and of course ours is hand-tied, when Giorgio Armani made the movie it was a pre-tied shape. 

So, come and take a look. It may not be for everyone, but it certainly has it's own personality. 

Look, not every man can do a silk scarf, so when I see one in the wild, like the four in hand tied on Stanley Tucci recently, I feel the need to celebrate it. Lovely Prince Of Wales Check peaked lapel 3 piece, what's not to love. The guy is a dude. I hope at the same age I can be that cool. 

Don't be silly and try to hang out for a sale bargain, I am not interested. You online shoppers with your penny pinching are really starting to bore me. Which is why I love to entertain people at the Studio where they can really touch and feel and understand the quality of what we offer. I encourage you to come and see the new Albeni x Le Noeud Papillon t shirts, they are cut to our own pattern, so charming, so wearable even in the height of summer, so ripe for a suit. You won't be disappointed. Come and get fitted. +61413140 994

Back on deck today and what a buzz it was to finally visit mainland China. It was one of the most exceptional trips I have taken and finally put in perspective what everyone is talking about and frankly if you haven't been I think you should definitely attempt to make a visit there whilst it is easy to get a visa. I have yet to gather all my thoughts but when I do, it will be right here on the blog.
