Edgy Industrial Ties

BOND Hardware Reinterprets the Necktie Using Locks and Chains

The creators of the BOND Hardware necktie collection, Brooklyn designers Dana Hurwitz and Vincent Barile, try to please the average young hipsters with a feel for genuine fashion innovation in their latest 2012 Spring Summer tie collection.

The BOND Hardware shirt accessories are simple in essence and innovative in their application. The modernized neckties of the BOND Hardware design duo propose average window locks, heavy metallic chains and standard two-sided clips to be wrapped around your neck above your classic, formal men’s shirts.

A very genuine idea that mixes creatively two seemingly different fashion worlds: recycled streetwear and formal wear creating an interesting and unusual fusion of fashion fetish and found items.

Also available in the innovative BOND Hardware range are hardware shirt accessories and jewelry for women.
