Black Satin Bow Tie by La Bowtique Bowties for The Anthology
US$245.00

100% Silk

La Bowtique Bow ties boast a distinctive style — always full, never flat, imbued with dynamic lines that bring them to life. The design concept behind this collaboration finds its roots in aligning with The Anthology's house aesthetics, drawing inspiration from the soft angular curves, lines, waves, and parabolas presented in lapel arches, rolls, shoulder outlines, and jacket opening quarters. This bow tie also introduces an innovative technique, presenting unlined bowties with a small, elegant middle knot and large, exaggerated, contrasted wings. This unique approach captures the essence of old-world Hollywood glamour and a quintessential 50s-inspired aesthetic while seamlessly integrating modernity through its fluid silkiness and reduced substance via its unlined construction.

Every bow tie is self-tie, although they already come in its best tied form.

Size: 35cm-46cm (14”-18”)

Black Satin Cummerbund by La Bowtique Bowties for The Anthology
US$295.00

100% Silk

The silk cummerbund by La Bowtique marks a refined evolution in design, tailored to our eveningwear and bow tie silhouette. It replaces the original five-panel construction with a sleeker four-panel configuration. Despite this reduction in panels, La Bowtique maintains the cummerbund's dimensions by widening each panel, ensuring it retains the same height and width that has come to define the brand's commitment to both style and functionality, always covering the entire waistband. Each layer is carefully paneled, stitched, and folded entirely by hand with a one-piece of flawless silk, a sophisticated and compulsory accessory that complements the bow tie's golden era aesthetic, appealing to those who appreciate the finer details in black-tie attire.

Size: 81cm-99cm (32”-39”)

Street Slippers by Bowhill & Elliott for The Anthology - Black Suede
US$425.00

We are delighted to co-create this street slipper with Bowhill & Elliott, the last remaining slipper maker in the UK. This esteemed house still upholds the traditional ethos of "make in the back, sell in the front," with the entire shoemaking process taking place within two floors.

The upper pattern of the street slipper is meticulously hand-cut from a single piece, resulting in a more fluid and seamless design. Departing from the conventional Albert-style evening slipper, this tailored creation features a shorter vamp and eliminates sharp turns on the tongue, maintaining a consistently soft contour. This complements the natural curves of our tailoring, allowing for a more casual styling option. Imagine a standard slip-on loafer, but refined with one-piece leather and a thin, hand-attached sole that closely hugs the bottom of the shoe, exuding understated elegance. It pairs beautifully with trousers, denim, and shorts alike.

Crafted from calf suede in a rich black shade, the upper is both supple and durable, allowing for comfortable movement in this hand-lasted slipper. This design elevates the common loafer, adding an extra touch of sophistication and individuality to your ensemble. The colour allows them to be worn beyond everyday, but also when a black tie dress code calls for.

Summary:

- UK sizing

- Black calf suede upper

- Single leather sole. Topy (rubber) soles are recommended to be attached by your local cobbler before wearing.
