NGC 4298 print tie

NGC 4298 is a dusty spiral galaxy that just happens to be almost face-on when viewed from the Earth. We can tell it contains a lot of young stars because of it’s blue-ish tint; in general, young stars appear blue whilst old stars appear red.

Using high-resolution astronomical images, each tie starts life on my computer so I can place the most interesting parts of the galaxy down the centre of the tie. I then get my designs custom-printed onto high-quality organic cotton in Europe. I make each tie by hand (and sewing machine!) in my Parisian apartment, before carefully packaging it in a beautiful branded box so it's ready to gift. You can choose to have your tie made from either super soft organic cotton sateen, or bright and shiny satin.

All my items are beautifully finished and are 100% hand made by me in my French studio.
