A Fox & Chave silk tie featuring a version of the pattern Bourne by William Morris (1834-1896).
Bourne depicts a dense network of intertwined stems, leaves, and flowers, with a prominent repeating trio of stylized thistles. The overall pattern is arranged in a flowing, almost river-like composition combining symmetry with organic movement, giving the impression of a living, growing tangle of vegetation.
Harmonious colors enhance depth and texture, while the intricate detailing of each leaf and petal reflects Morris's close observation of nature. Bourne exemplifies his belief that decorative design should unite artistry, utility, and a celebration of the natural world.
A Fox & Chave silk tie looks best tied in a classic Windsor or half-Windsor knot and worn with a collar style of your choosing. Cutaway or spread collars offer the greatest opportunity to display the detail of your unique silk tie design.
