"HERMES" 90’s-00’s Midnight jacquard dot silk tie

From HERMÈS, which has elevated the entire attire through its origins as a harness workshop and the precision of materials and craftsmanship, I introduce a silk tie that contains depth within its modest assertion.

This masterpiece is woven with a base of midnight blue silk twill, with irregular dots quietly emerging through the weaving.

First, I want you to touch on the fact that the fabric is constructed as a jacquard rather than a print, with colored threads creating dots that stand out sharply depending on the angle of light, giving a three-dimensional feel to a typically flat dot pattern.

The delicate accents that appear to be white or pale pink are scattered, maintaining the sincerity of navy without compromising it, and subtly leaving the relaxed elegance typical of a French maison.

Structurally, the icon of the carriage and attendant of HERMÈS PARIS is directly woven into the back of the large sword, and the approach of embedding symbols into the fabric itself rather than attaching a logo afterward conveys the maison's pride.

Moreover, the logo is depicted with a meticulous weaving technique that forms a collection of dots, providing a level of detail only visible up close, and its changing expression with distance is pleasant.

The loop tag also lists 100% SILK, MADE IN FRANCE, and 100% SOIE in French, and the inclusion of dry cleaning instructions based on silk quality completes the luxury context, including handling.

The tag layout with white characters on a black background is also neat, and because the design of the unseen part remains intact, the appearance after tying remains elegant.

The reason for estimating the era as late 1990s to late 2000s is also clear: the loop tag with a small sword passing through it features a horizontally long black background with a carriage logo in the center, which differs from the simplified new tag designs seen from the 2010s onward. Additionally, the specifications of directly weaving the logo on the back of the large sword and the simple care labels with English and French markings like DRY CLEAN ONLY are consistent with the pre-multilingual era.

Furthermore, the technique of expressing irregular dots with a floating weave has been a trend continuously adopted in classic men's lines from the 1990s to the 2000s, and the subtlety of weaving to speak of rank without overt decoration embodies the essence of HERMÈS at that time, condensed into this piece.

The added value of this tie lies not in obvious flashy symbols, but in the subtle difference created by the density of weaving and the precision of design, making it a presence that quietly elevates the owner's aesthetic sense while maintaining decorum even in business settings.

Once in your wardrobe, it functions as a high-value staple that naturally draws your hand on days when you wear a jacket style.

Styling-wise, pairing it with well-tailored suits or simple jackets creates depth at the chest and tightens the overall look, and when paired with a shirt and slacks, it adds a refined space that doesn't make the outfit overly stiff, leaving an elegant margin.

Additionally, it can be subtly paired as an inner to a minimal coat, making it a masterpiece that quietly connects the boundary between elegance and mode.

Please take this opportunity.
