[The Meaning Behind the Tie]

The tie is said to have originated from a woolen cloth worn around the neck by Roman soldiers in the early 2nd century for warmth. Called a “focale,” this cloth also served as a cherished talisman sent by wives and lovers praying for the safe return of soldiers heading to the battlefield.

In today's world, where work styles are diversifying—beyond just office work to include remote work and hybrid arrangements combining both—wearing a suit or tying a tie might be less common than before. But on those occasional days you go into the office, precisely because you're away from family, wouldn't wearing something that feels like a talisman close to you help energize your work even more?

Each Kuska Fabric Fresco Tie is handmade from thread creation through dyeing and weaving. Tango chirimen, produced in the Tango region of northern Kyoto Prefecture, is a fabric woven by alternating warp threads of untwisted raw silk with weft threads of strongly twisted raw silk. Refining this fabric causes the threads to shrink, creating a fine, uneven texture called “shibo” across the entire surface. A premium silk fabric with 300 years of history. The three-dimensional texture, luster, and beautiful hues achieved by dyeing the silk itself—all born from weaving with air incorporated—simply express the excellence of hand-weaving.

Made with heartfelt care, these products are perfect gifts that carry your own feelings along with them. How about a Tango chirimen tie for this year's Christmas present?
