This is a Stefano Bigi tie with a beautiful silver and black woven pattern. I purchased it a few years ago at Beams Kyoto for around 15,000-16,000 yen. I found it while looking for a monotone tie to match navy and gray suits. This tie has a silver and black woven pattern, and the material is 100% silk. It's supple, but at first glance, it has a soft, warm texture like a knit tie, and I fell in love with it. Also, according to my wife, who was with me, the silver stripes on this tie appear horizontally when laid flat, but when tied, they become vertical stripes at the knot, and then horizontal stripes from the knot to the tip of the wide blade, and that combination is very stylish. (Please refer to the photos I've included, which show me trying it on over a shirt.) It matched my navy, gray, and black suits very well, so I really treasured it. It goes perfectly with white and blue shirts, and surprisingly, it also looks great with pink shirts, making it very easy to coordinate. It was a versatile tie that I could use whenever I was unsure what to wear. I accidentally bought a similar tie, so I'm selling this one to declutter. However, upon re-examining it for the listing, I found a thread fraying near the edge of the wide blade, about 69cm from the tip. I'm 175cm tall and weigh 67kg, and it wasn't visible when I tied it with a single knot, so I hadn't really noticed it before. There are no scratches on the wide blade, and I don't see any other major damage, but because of this, I had to select "Used - Has some scratches and stains" and decided to list it at a slightly lower price. It's a strange way to put it, but I took photos to show the affected area as clearly as possible. Please take a look. If you have any questions, please feel free to comment. I have visually inspected it again for the listing, but it is a used item that has been stored by an amateur, so please forgive any minor oversights. I kindly request no claims and no returns. I really love this tie, and I hope to pass it on to someone who will appreciate and cherish it as much as I do.
