The Paul Smith ‘Dog Pattern’ Ties are presented by Portuguese retailer Por Vocacao and each tie is spotted with itty-bitty pooch patterns.
At first glace, I wasn’t sure if the Paul Smith ‘Dog Pattern’ Ties were made with women or men in mind. However, Por Vocacao deliberately chose to use a female model to channel the classic prepster look (complete with sweater tied around the model’s shoulders), and most importantly, to "feature one of the most prominent of male symbols--the tie."
