Conventional sartorial theory tells us that lace usually has a place only in women’s garments. Far from sticking to social mores, Marwood London upends stereotypes with its range of lace ties and bowties for men. Founded in 2009 by Becky French, Marwood London began life as an online sketchbook of research that ultimately inspired the concept and philosophy behind the autumn/winter collection of Marwood London neckties in 2011. The range of neck finery uses the finest fabrics such as woven silk, wool and traditional English Leavers lace.
