The sound of two Alka-Seltzer tablets, dropping into a thin glass, coupled with the pregnant silence of a green silk bow, wrapped around one’s neck like a loose, self-imposed collar. The fabric looked like dusk, and held a certain reserve, like lips parted in hesitation, or a neat stack of playing cards. A bit like ink on wet paper; an absolute refusal to be contained, or even totally known. They put it on for the party, but decided not to attend.

The Yves Bow Introvert is made of dark green silk charmeuse, hand-embroidered with pearl beads, and falls into an elegant pre-sewn drape at the neck. An adjustable silk neck-band, fastens with a traditional metal bow-tie clasp at the back of the neck. As all bows are made-to-order, please allow two to four weeks for delivery once order is placed.
