Purple & Pink
Stories Woven to Wear
Vivid magenta silk brings out the colours of Irish flowers, both at the market and in the wild.
Hand-dyed featherweight blanket shawl woven in ultrafine linen & silk, in tones of soft desaturated orange and pink. 142cm x 142cm (second photo shows entire design of our featherweight blanket shawls), Brendan Joseph signature woven into lower right hand corner, giving visual interest when worn as a scarf, and disappearing entirely depending on how you wear it. Woven and Handmade in Ireland.
The slicing of a pink Grapefruit. Fluid Ruby red glistening fractals hiding under an eggshell sheen, porous (and oh so fragrant when you scratch, with a burst of juice like from an atomiser) skin in leathery blood orange. Leaves of crinkly green. And the mouth feel. The multi-sensory experience of it transcends language, sight, taste, smell, touch.
The palest pink, like evening light reflected on snow, changing colours depending on the light...a rosy hue, or an icy blue.
Soft light pink Pocket Square, stamp cut edges, Silk and Linen, 23cm x 25cm, Woven and Handmade in Ireland.
The first powdery blanket of winter snow drifts overnight into the walled garden, diffusing the early morning light. Crystals form, dew turns to fine lace, then evaporates. On the climbing rose, a gentle pink and blush white, droplets form and break. Traces remain like veins or a desert’s dry streams, remnants of waves receding across sand. The virgin snow glows like a kaleidoscope of pale pinks, soon to become fuel for snowballs, but as of yet, its surface is disturbed only by the tracks of a running fox.

This fully handcrafted Self-Tie Bow Tie is woven from my own unique silk and linen cloth, specially developed to reflect light and change colour as its inspiration does in nature.
The product images you're seeing are of the actual bow-tie you'll be purchasing. If you'd like to see images tied up in a specific way, or in a specific light, just ask.
I've designed these authentic self-tie dickie bows so that you can also wear them pre-tied. Unclip the t-hook from the sizing ribbon, feed it back through the loop on the other tail of the neck loop, and you can store the bow tie flat or tied.
Some find it easier to rotate the tie back-to-front and use a mirror. I want you to be able to wear your tie so just ask if you have any questions about re-tying.
You can have your tie presented either flat and untied or tied up
Embroidered Monogramming Available
On Bow Ties we recommend 1 to 3 Initials
+EUR 15 / USD 17.50Complementary or Contrasting Thread Choices Available

52% Silk, 48% Linen
Handmade in Dublin, Ireland
Collar size: 13-18 inches (33-46cm)
Care instructions: Dry clean or spot clean only
Do not wash. Specialist Dry Clean Recommended. To remove odours, air outside. For optimum results, spot clean any staining immediately by dabbing or blotting with a baby-wipe. Never apply bleach or harsh chemicals. Never Machine Wash. Iron on low/wool setting, avoid using steam. Place a clean cloth or towel underneath your tie when ironing. Ensure iron is clean or use a cover sheet to protect from marks.
Abrasion against a beard or stubble can cause pilling and hazing on all natural fibres. If this occurs, unmake tie, iron flat, and de-pill using a cashmere de-piller or trim any fuzzing and pilling carefully using a scissors, holding scissors approximately 3mm or 1/8th of an inch above the surface. If you need any help, or damage your tie, we offer a lifetime restoration service.
Your bow-tie can be stored flat or left tied. To assemble pre-tied, feed the t-hook through the metal loop and into a button hole with the sizing ribbon on the inside. If using a mirror, you can rotate tie back to front to clip it into position more easily.
