I think a lot of Hermes ties are butt-ugly. Enough with the little oranges, dancing teddy-bears, and self-promoting H's! Sure, you can't refute the quality of their ties, but I draw the line at whales.But occasionally, they get things so right (I WANT THIS SO BAD) and their aesthetic vision aligns with my own. The above tie is super-cool. That horse makes my day, for a number of reasons. 1) It's tiny. 2) It's a beautiful rendition of a horse and 3) Once that baby is tied, our little horse will probably end up somewhere underneath your collar, in the knot, or behind the visible part of your tie, depending on how you tie it.
The tie has such a sense of humor; it's only embellishment is hidden away, known only to the wearer. And the rest of the tie is just so clean and simple - slim cut and navy blue. It's a humble, yet confident design.
So it only makes sense that Hermes call it a "Novelty Tie." Ugh.
