Contemporary neck tie designer Vittorio J released a series of limited edition ties that seem to grab the attention of many celebrities in New York city. What makes this company so unique is its limited manufacturing and how it only makes two of each tie to ensure its rarity and quality.
Vittorio J began production as a blessing in disguise; due to a mechanical error, the ties were mistakenly labeled as 7-fold as opposed to 3-fold, thus resulting in special edition neckwear. Only 85 of these ties were made and so far, 35 were claimed by a dedicated fan.
