Drake'S New Arrivals
Regarded as being at the pinnacle of luxury men’s neckwear and accessories Drakes are the largest independent producer of handmade ties in England.
The company carefully adheres to the traditions of craftsmanship with a meticulous attention to detail that is never compromised in creating a totally authentic, ultimate handmade tie.
All ties are cut by hand from generous blocks of the finest silks, using a different set of patterns for each quality of silk.
The generous blocks allow all three parts of the tie to be cut “fully on the bias”, and also ensure sufficient cloth to create a deep fold at the back of the tie so it can be hand slipped more securely.
Drakes believe that true luxury is indeed the comprehension of quality.
