The tail of this tie is made with our signature kitenge fabric, a batik-style wax cotton fabric that is indigenous to East Africa. The batik tail and the silk blade are safe to iron; pressing your tie for just a few seconds will give it a crisp, clean finish. Dry clean to remove stains or residue.

More about kitenge fabric.

Kitenge is complex and gorgeous textile. To create these bold, stunning patterns, a design made of wax is stamped or brushed onto the fabric, then dipped into a variety of dyes to produce intricate, multicolor patterns. Traditional batiks can take months just to complete a single piece. The designs, symbols, shapes and colors are influenced by the many diverse regions of East Africa and beyond.
