Creed Vetiver - The New Scent Going Out In Our Parcels


It is a joy to find a new scent to spray our packs with. I never grow tired of hunting for a new scent which I think will adequately convey a message to our customers when they open up our bubble bags or take home a carry bag from the Studio. 

Last week I went through the Creed scents again, specifically looking for a small vial I'd been given as a tester in a Como perfumerie. The scent I had was Creed Vetiver but it took me about ten minutes to recognise it. I am not one to know how to associate words with smells in an exacting manner but I felt there was orange, ginger, shallots and herbs in there mixed with cucumber. That's what I felt anyway. 

At Christmas someone had given me a vetiver root deodorant from Aesops and the scent had stood out. 

What an amazing thing scent is. I can still recall there was a scent in the late 90's which was by Donna Karan. I think it was called Petrol or Diesel. And for years after the smell lingered in a cabinet where the last of the bottle remained. After a period of time I got a whiff and it immediately took me to Hong Kong where I'd received the bottle in 1997. One whiff and a flood of memories.

I do hope that over time, long after the customer has bought his first bow tie from us, years from now, that they will get a small trace of that scent on someone walking past them in the street and fondly remember opening a parcel and pulling out a piece of silk. 

A bottle of Creed in Australia costs $370. It's not cheap. But its a small price to pay if I can capture your attention in years to come.

The latest 12mm silk pochettes are online. They are spectacular. Consider getting one before they sell out. 





Every Conceivable Wedding Bow Tie


One of the problems faced by a groom who goes to get a lovely dinner suit either off the rack or from a tailor or made-to-measure programme is that often the store that sells them the suit has a range of dicky looking pre-tied bow ties in one to two fabrics sitting on the shelf. Half of them dusty from not having been sold.

By contrast we keep on file a huge range of black silks in a wide range of weaves and textures to and in colours other than black to ensure that no matter what you choose to get married in, chances are, we have a silk to match. So whether or not you choose a satin, grosgrain, barathea, twill, ottoman, polka dot, basket weave, pin head, marcella or any other weave for that matter, there is a strong chance we have it in stock. 

And unlike most other companies out there in the world today, we can literally cut the silk the same day and have it ready for you the following day (for a surcharge) . 

So if you are stuck for what to wear to your wedding, if you are unsure as to what shape of bow tie will suit your face, if you just want the opportunity to run your hand and eyes over a number of options, book and appointment with us and you won't be disappointed.
