Product Insights
The Pontoglio Velvet Bow Tie from Le 31 delivers the industry standard of velvet craftsmanship: 100% cotton velvet from the historic Pontoglio mill, woven by 63 artisans for a matte, suede-like finish and deep mossy green color that pairs with autumn formals. Its pre-tied design ensures perfect symmetry, adjustable for 14 to 18 inch necks, and while the plush pile retains shape and color through repeated wear, it demands professional dry cleaning to maintain its quality.
