Randomness

I'm always a little wary whenever a department store manufactures their own stuff, so when I saw this Barneys tie, I was just a tad suspicious. From the looks of the first photo, it's a bit crooked, maybe?

Otherwise, it's a beautiful tie. I love the lack of a pattern (though there is one, if you look for it hard enough); it's as if the flowers were falling down your tie. Ties are almost always made with patterned fabric, which emphasize their mass-production quality. But here, the random placement of flowers makes it seem more like artwork than a department store tie. Not to mention, the color combination is perfect.

EDIT 06/10/07: I bought it and I love it... and in a moment of weakness, I bought the blue-with-pink-flowers version, too (50% off, folks!) -- if the brown/blue didn't do it for you, the blue/pink might work. The brown/blue is a bit more sophisticated, while the blue/pink is more sexy, more fun.
